FACTS/FLUKES: Jansen, Pederson, Yelich, Asche, Koehler

Jansen truly elite … Kenley Jansen (RHP, LA) has been one of the game’s best closers over the past few years, but February foot surgery may have caused him to drop a little on some draft boards. Jansen’s 2015 debut was delayed until May 15. The 27-year-old’s performance has not slipped at all as he has posted a 2.76 ERA, stellar 0.78 WHIP and 13.3 Cmd thus far.
