FACTS/FLUKES: Gomez, Duffy, Kinsler, C. Lewis, Merrifield

Gomez frustrating owners ... And we thought 2015 was bad. Owners who drafted Carlos Gómez (OF, HOU) as a top-50 player did so in hopes of a rebound to the $30+ version from 2013-14. Instead, Gomez has completely unraveled with a .209 BA and just three HR through 172 AB. Will the collapse continue?
