FACTS/FLUKES: Paddack, Smoak, Hader, Kendrick, Bradley

Paddack ropes strong debut... While Chris Paddack (RHP, SD) had a bumpy August, his last three starts in September boosted his MLB debut. In 141 IP, the right-hander posted nine wins, 153 strikeouts, a 3.33 ERA, and a 0.98 WHIP. As a late-round pick in 2019, Paddack's strong start has vaulted him to a 55 ADP in 2020. Should we buy his first wave of success?
