FACTS/FLUKES: Dozier, Bauer, L. Cain, Sabathia, Headley

Dozier's encore ... Brian Dozier's (2B, MIN) second-half explosion (.274 BA, 29 HR, 12 SB) likely took many fantasy owners to the promised land in 2016. It also made him a prime "regression" candidate in many circles, as the key question surrounding Dozier entering 2017 was: How much of that second-half surge is sustainable?
