FACTS/FLUKES: Price, Grandal, Beltre, Edwards, L. Garcia

Injuries probably to blame for Price's increased walk rate... For the first time since he became a major league regular in 2009, David Price (LHP, BOS) threw less than 100 IP in 2017, as elbow soreness and blister and fingernail problems kept him out of action. What kind of impact did the injuries have on his skills, and can we hope for better results in 2018?
