FACTS/FLUKES: Bogaerts, McCullers, B. Miller, Gregorius, J. Wilson

Bogaerts exhibits growth, but regression still looms...When we examined Xander Bogaerts (SS, BOS) in late April, we indicated that he was likely to experience h% regression that would prohibit him from repeating the $28 of value he produced in 2015 and that a skill-induced breakout was not in the offing. But, more than half way through the 2016 season, h% has yet to regress and production now exceeds $30. Are we ready to change our tune?
