FACTS/FLUKES: Pollock, Frazier, Crawford, Hill, T. Anderson

Risk vs reward with Pollock ... A.J. Pollock (OF, ARI) was running wild again on the bases to open the 2017 season, with 11 steals in his first 37 games before a groin injury knocked him out of action for about seven weeks. He stole only nine more bases in 79 games upon his return, though the power production increased late in the year. Can he be counted on to contribute power and speed in 2018?
