FACTS/FLUKES: Devers, Mengden, Jay, Benintendi, and Smoak

Devers looks for boost... Entering the 2018 season, some fantasy owners had high expectations for Rafael Devers (3B, BOS). When we visited Devers in September, we noted that owners should have "realistic expectations" for the top-five prospect. Through 209 at-bats, Devers has hit .234 with 9 HR and 28 RBI. What do his skills suggest about his production going forward?
