FACTS/FLUKES: Lucroy, Allen, K. Seager, Graveman, Reddick

Lucroy the top catcher? ... Jonathan Lucroy (C, TEX) entered 2016 with some lingering injury concerns, but that didn't stop us from identifying a buying opportunity. Lucroy went off with a .292 BA and career-high 24 HR in a healthy season that included a move from MIL to TEX. Could the case be made for Lucroy as 2017's best catcher?
