FACTS/FLUKES: Grichuk, Kela, Pinder, Skaggs, Zimmermann

Breakout pending? ... Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) burst onto the scene in 2015 with an .889 OPS and big power (202 PX) in half a season.  The results ever since have been disappointing, as .239/23/64 is no big deal from an OF these days.  Can Grichuk take the next step in 2018?
