FACTS/FLUKES: J. Ramirez, Tanaka, Hosmer, Osuna, Chirinos

Ramirez a 2018 first-round pick? ... After a full-fledged breakout in 2016, José Ramírez (3B, CLE) has laughed in the face of regression. He's pushed the envelope even further in 2017 with a full BA repeat, while more than doubling his HR total. With two straight years of elite performance, Ramirez's 2018 price tag will be steep. Should you pay up?
