FACTS/FLUKES: Brantley, Stroman, Pedroia, Duffy, J.D. Martinez
Dec 10 2014
Can Brantley repeat? ... Michael Brantley (OF, CLE) enjoyed one of the biggest breakouts of the 2014 season as he went 20/20 and posted roughly $40 of production. Entering 2014, however, he'd never hit for more than 10 HR, and his .327 BA was nearly 40 points higher than his previous best. Will gravity send Brantley back to earth?
