FACTS/FLUKES: Machado, Price, V. Martinez, Alonso, Shoemaker

For Machado, a little give & take...A quarter of the way through the 2016 season and we find Manny Machado (3B/SS, BAL) among the league leaders in BA, HR, SLG%, and OPS, yet without a stolen base in three attempts. Has Machado solidified himself among the elite bats in the game at this point, and if so, has it been at the expense of his running game?
