FACTS/ FLUKES: Mondesi, Alberto, Eovaldi, Perez, Heaney

Risk and reward with Mondesi ... Ten players hit 40 HRs last year, but only three swiped 40 bags, including Adalberto Mondesi (SS, KC), who reached the benchmark in barely more than 100 games because of a separated shoulder. The idea of a full season of Mondesi tearing up the basepaths is appealing. Can he take advantage?
