FACTS/FLUKES: J. Ramirez, M. Olson, Gausman, G. Richards, Lucroy

J. Ramirez' upward trajectory...The early results from José Ramírez (3B/2B, CLE) show continued growth from his $30+ season in 2017, as he is currently on pace to hit more than 40 home runs in 2018. Has the diminutive Ramirez really transformed himself into an 80-grade power hitter?
