Well, at least he's not striking out a lot or something like that. The White Sox continue to trot Mercedes out there in the middle of their batting order, and while he's not been good enough to cling on to in single-catcher formats, we should see an adjustment eventually that makes him relevant in two-catcher leagues.  There's an upside to be a streamable fantasy catcher in here for the leagues where he is eligible, but it can be very difficult to predict adjustments, and until he makes that adjustment, he's waiver material unless you really just need at-bats.
