FACTS/FLUKES: Sano, Estrada, Odor, J.C. Ramirez, Hicks

Sano doing it all ... The outlook on Miguel Sanó (3B, MIN) entering 2017 seemed clear: huge power with plenty of HR, but plan for a BA drag. That's been half right so far, as Sano is among the league leaders in HR, but he's paired it with a .305 batting average through 105 AB. Can Sano, who recently made a cameo in Stephen Nickrand's Batters Buyers Guide, keep this up?
