FACTS/FLUKES: Bour, Hoskins, Taillon, Norris, Zobrist

Bour’s BA has been a drag … Injuries derailed what was shaping up to be a monster year for Justin Bour (1B, MIA) in 2017, as he sported a .289 BA with 25 HR in 377 AB. He had the look of a possible draft-day bargain heading into 2018 (201 ADP), but through 286 AB, he has a .234 BA and 13 HR. What’s behind the sharp BA decline?
