FACTS/FLUKES: Polanco, Lester, Segura, R. De La Rosa, Suarez

Polanco flashing signs ... After a promising second half in 2015 (.278 BA, 6 HR / 10 SB), Gregory Polanco (OF, PIT) is off to a decent—yet unspectacular—start to 2016 with a .302 BA and a pair of home runs and steals through April. He's the headliner of an early-season Facts/Flukes column, however, so something else must be going on, right?
