All Questions Answered

With the 2017 minor league season complete and the 2017 major league regular season almost over, it is time for an All Questions Answered discussion thread. The ground rules:

***One question per poster please.

***Please do not camouflage multiple questions in the guise of a single question.

***This is rapid-fire format. Questions which require considerable research or deeper analysis will be punted or, perhaps, turned into a larger post of their own eventually.

***Post your questions in the comment thread and I will work on them throughout the day.

***Enjoy!
