FACTS/FLUKES: Castellanos, Liriano, Carter, Cotton, Revere

Castellanos in line for a power bump…With a .319 BA and 10 HR in April//May 2016, it looked like Nick Castellanos (3B, DET) had announced his presence with authority. But his average came down in the second half, and an August hand injury effectively ended his year. Now 25, can Castellanos show that his hot start wasn’t a fluke?
