FACTS/FLUKES: J. Abreu, Estrada, R. Davis, S. Dyson, Kiermaier

GB% issues catch up with Abreu…After two years with 30 HR/100 RB/.290+ BA, José Abreu (1B, CHW) didn’t come cheaply in 2016 drafts. He’s not lived up to that lofty status in 2016. While the 2016 Baseball Forecaster pointed out that he may have seen his ceiling, this steep drop wasn’t anticipated—can he turn it around?
