Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

September Power Surges That Might Be For Real

As we all sit and overanalyze spring training at-bats and pitch mixes, it's important to remember that the small sample sizes of a few half-games against essentially AAAA talent can often be misleading.
