Here are some answers to #1-6. Check back soon for part 2.

Can Hunter Renfroe hit righties and play passable defense?

Hunter Renfroe

Possibly...he is certainly improving.

Coming off of a Pacific Coast League MVP performance in 2016, Renfroe was a consensus top-100 prospect entering 2017. Depending on the list he was 44th (Baseball America), 42nd (MLB.com) or 92nd (Baseball Prospectus). However, Renfroe disapointed as a rookie, posting a 94 OPS+, 0.8 WAR and receiving a late season demotion. Renfroe struggled to a 66 wRC+ against righties, compared to 177 wRC+ against lefties.
