FACTS/FLUKES: J.D. Martinez, Mancini, Hand, Price, Reddick

J.D. Martinez not hitting HRs... In most leagues, J.D. Martinez (OF, BOS) was drafted among the top ten picks. In a year where home runs are being hit at an unprecedented rate, Martinez has only five HR as the middle of May approaches. Are there reasons to be concerned that he may not deliver first-round value?
