FACTS/FLUKES: Seager, Pineda, Castellanos, Latos, Crisp

Slow start hides Seager’s potential…After hitting 20+ HR in each of his first four full seasons, Kyle Seager (3B, SEA) did not come cheaply in 2016 auctions. He hasn’t justify that cost in the early going, after stumbling out of the gate; he still hasn’t gotten to the Mendoza line. Can Seager get his production up to his usual levels?
