FACTS/FLUKES: Donaldson, Sabathia, B. Miller, Jimenez, L. Martin

Donaldson enjoying career year ... When we last visited Josh Donaldson (3B, TOR) in March, Dave Adler suggested that we could see a power surge from the emerging third baseman in 2015. So far, that's been spot-on as Donaldson has already cleared the 20-HR mark by the All Star break. He's also tossed in a near-.300 BA, which has resulted in top-shelf earnings at his position.
