FACTS/FLUKES: C. Seager, J. Fernandez, Grichuk, Morgan, Duvall

Seager already a star ... We typically caution making large investments in players with short track records, but we made an exception in the 2016 Baseball Forecaster, noting that Corey Seager (SS, LA) has the "skills to thrive right away." And thrived he has. Our #2 prospect in this year's HQ100 has exploded in his first full MLB season, as he's hitting over .300 while flirting with a 30-HR pace.
