FACTS/FLUKES: Posey, Aguilar, Burnes, Castellanos, F. Peralta

He just needed a break?... It was hard to know what to expect when Buster Posey (C, SF) took an entire year off at age 33. The prior two seasons had seen him decline sharply, and whether due to age, injury (57 IL days), or both, he seemed on his way to fantasy irrelevance. He has rebounded in a big way, near the top in value among catchers.  Have his skills rebounded, too?
