FACTS/FLUKES: Pollock, Syndergaard, Harrison, Kennedy, Flores

Can Pollock repeat? ... A.J. Pollock (OF, ARI) has been one of the biggest surprises of 2015 as he's on pace to return over $40 in standard formats. He's ripped through our optimistic speculation in the Baseball Forecaster of "UP: .290 BA, 30 SB" along with nearly 20 HR as well. Pollock's explosion begs the question—is he a cornerstone pick in 2016 drafts?
