Funny you should mention Ervin.
Last year I was telling everyone not to get their hopes up over Ervin because he had never hit much in the minors. Before last season he had not looked like a top hitter in double A (470 at bats, .238 avg, .400 slg%) or triple A (363 at bats, .256 avg, .380 slg%).
All he has done since then is hit over 30 points higher at triple A (.289) with a slugging percentage over 100 points higher (.487) then come to the majors and hit .272 with a .440 slugging%. And Ervin can run. He stole 97 bases in three seasons ('15-'17) before last year.
Out of all these guys surely we can find a couple that can hit in the majors.
