FACTS/FLUKES: M. Machado, S. Gray, Gattis, Triggs, and Y. Sanchez

Machado moves to shortstop... In the last year of his contract with the Baltimore Orioles, Manny Machado (SS, BAL) will earn multiple position eligibility at 3B and SS. With improved skills (79 BPV) in the second half of 2017, Machado hit .296 with 18 HR, 57 RBI, and 5 SB. Can we expect his strong skills to continue in 2018?
