FACTS/FLUKES: Tomlin, A. Diaz, M. Smith, Goody, and C. Gomez

Tomlin is the master of control... With three-consecutive seasons of a 1.0 Ctl or lower, Josh Tomlin (RHP, CLE) offers pinpoint control. A H%/S% swing in the first half of 2017 played a role in his 6.17 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, but the right-hander returned in the second half with a 3.11 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. What can he offer teams that are eyeing back-end SP in 2018?
