FACTS/FLUKES: Machado, B. McCann, Heaney, Plouffe, Axford

Machado the real deal..After injuries to both knees in 2013/14, Manny Machado (3B, BAL) had something to prove in 2015. He did so with flying colors, posting career highs in HR, SB, and BA on the way to a fourth-place MVP finish. Can Machado deliver an encore performance?
