FACTS/FLUKES: Walsh, Keuchel, N. Lopez, Sulser, Ward

Walsh continues to outperform expectations... Coming off an abbreviated campaign where he tallied a .293 BA with 9 HR in 108 PA, Jared Walsh (1B, LAA) was a popular mid-round selection in drafts heading into the year. BaseballHQ's Brandon Kruse dove into Walsh's skill set on February 26; mentioning that his ct% gains in '20 made potential BA output a massive question, while bringing a more sober outlook to his power skills as well. As of now, Walsh sits third among all 1B in rotisserie earnings ($30). Do his skills support this level of performance or are we still waiting for the inevitable drop-off?
