FACTS/FLUKES: Verdugo, Seager, Giolito, Arozarena, Wacha

Has Verdugo peaked? ... Hopes were high for Alex Verdugo (OF, BOS) when he arrived in Boston off a .294, 12-HR season as a rookie with the Dodgers. While Verdugo has continued to hit for average, the power output has dwindled and what few SBs he contributed have likewise dried up. At 26, is Verdugo destined to be nothing more than a BA contributor?
