FACTS/FLUKES: Donaldson, C. Davis, Duffey, A. Escobar, McHugh

Donaldson's MVP follow-up...It cost those who wanted to roster 2015 AL MVP, Josh Donaldson (3B, OAK), an early first round pick (ADP: 6) in 2016 drafts, but his current $28 earnings are a bit below the $36 he returned last year. Is there any indication that he will make up for lost time in the second half?
