FACTS/FLUKES: J. Abreu, Castellanos, K. Seager, U. Jimenez, Medlen

Abreu a disappointment?…When we last took a look at José Abreu (1B, CHW), toward the end of May 2015, he was off to a bit of a slow start and there was reason to believe he would struggle to approach the elite output of his 2014 rookie season. Though his final 2015 line was indeed a step back, it’s the kind of early-round miss most of us can survive. Why the 2015 decline and how should we adjust 2016 expectations?
