FACTS/ FLUKES: Manoah, Brown, Sandoval, LeMahieu, Straw

Has Manoah joined AL 'elite?' ... Alek Manoah (RHP, TOR) answered his superb rookie season by knocking a run off his ERA and doubling his win total on his way to a third place finish for the AL Cy Young. The 25-year-old horse barely missed logging 200 innings in the process. Did he earn a place among the league's elite in the process?
