FACTS/FLUKES: Ortiz, Verlander, Gregorius, J. Vargas, Flowers

Ortiz remains a solid power producer…While the Red Sox have been wildly inconsistent over the past few years, you can’t say the same about their main offensive threat. David Ortiz (DH, BOS) has hit between 28-35 HR in four of the past five seasons. Can the 39-year old Big Papi be counted on for another big year?
