FACTS/FLUKES: Abreu, Wilson, Plouffe, Detwiler, Drew

Don’t expect much regression from Abreu…The White Sox hit the jackpot when they signed José Abreu (1B, CHW) to a six-year, $68 million contract before the 2014 season. After a power-laden debut, Abreu won the AL Rookie of the Year award and finished fourth in the MVP race.
