FACTS/FLUKES: Piscotty, Jackson, Pena, Smith, Wendle

Righting the ship ... We last checked in on Stephen Piscotty (OF, OAK) in mid-May and he was struggling with a double whammy of low BA and low power output. We projected modest output for the rest of 2018, but since that time he has rebounded in a big way, with .305-11-31 in June and July. Should this recent hot streak change our outlook on Piscotty?
