FACTS/FLUKES: J.D. Martinez, Kimbrel, A. Rodriguez, Smyly, J. Bradley
Mar 1 2016
Is J.D. Martinez elite? ... Breakout performances like J.D. Martinez's (OF, DET) in 2014 seldom get repeated the following year. Martinez's $26 outburst came on the heels of just $4 in production over the previous two seasons combined. Martinez bucked the trend in 2015, however, as he swatted 38 HR with a .282 BA. With two straight $25 seasons now under his belt, has Martinez established himself as a top AL hitter?
