FACTS/FLUKES: J. Upton, Ventura, Andrus, Eovaldi, Dickerson

What's behind Upton's collapse? ... Six $20+ seasons in the last seven years, "AAA" reliability, peak age, and then this. Through 148 AB, Justin Upton (OF, DET) has a sub-Mendoza batting average with just two HR—far from a rosterable level of production in any league; let alone from a top-50 fantasy pick. What's behind it, and are there any reasons for optimism?
