FACTS/FLUKES: Schoop, Salazar, Gurriel, Colome, T. Anderson

Schoop a top 2B? ... A quick glance at 2017's YTD leaders at second base unveils a new name: Jonathan Schoop (2B, BAL), who has crawled into the top five in standard 5x5 formats. He's already matched 2016's career-high HR total (25) with a 30+ point BA gain to boot. Is it time to consider Schoop an upper-tier 2B?
