A partial list of warning signs, regarding Zack Cozart:
· He has missed something like 170 games in the past three seasons
· His fielding value, as measured by Defensive Runs Saved, has fallen from excellent in 2014 (19 runs saved) to average in 2017 (2 runs saved)
· His 2017 hitting line was fueled by a significant spike in BABIP
· His HR/FB rate also jumped substantially in 2017
· Although Cozart was good all year, how we think about his 2017 season is heavily colored by how he started the season.
