FACTS/FLUKES: Yelich, Baez, Zimmerman, Volquez, Chatwood

Can Yelich hold power gains? ... Prior to 2016, Christian Yelich (OF, MIA) had established himself as a batting average anchor who provided speed and a little bit of pop. He flipped the script on his steals and homers last year, with the end result being even more value than in previous years. Can he be even better in 2017?
