FACTS/FLUKES: Betts, A. Chapman, Nunez, Clevinger, Mahtook

Betts fades, slightly ... If you knew you'd get a $25-30 player with your top-3 pick, would you do it? That's been Mookie Betts (OF, BOS) in 2017. Betts' $42 season in 2016 vaulted his Average Draft Position to #3, but the production's been off thanks to a career-low .268 batting average. Do we still consider him elite?
