FACTS/FLUKES: Trout, Romano, Springer, Quantrill, A. Rosario

Trout close to putting up 1st round value ... Mike Trout (OF, LAA) slipped to the late first round or second round in drafts this year because of health concerns and the conclusion that he was no longer a 5-category player. So far this season he is the 13th most valuable fantasy player based on BaseballHQ.com's 5x5 values, despite not attempting a steal yet. How is he delivering value and can he continue to deliver at this level?
