Biography:
Jesus Merchan profiles as a light-hitting infielder who is showing signs of bat life later in his career. He hit 10 homers in 2007, half of his career total. He's difficult to fan, but his defense isn't very steady with fielding percentages of .947 at shortstop, .929 at third base, and .973 at second base.

The Diamondbacks are the third organization that Merchan has played for, along with Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Seattle.
