FACTS/FLUKES: Bautista, Rodon, W. Ramos, McHugh, A. Jackson

Should you be worried about Bautista?... It was seven years ago, at age 30, that José Bautista (RF, TOR) put himself on the map with a 54 HR season, and apart from some injury-plagued campaigns, he's been a valuable contributor... right up until 2016, when his skills and output took a noticeable drop, a change that seems to have carried over into 2017. At 36, is he nearing the end of his career?
