FACTS/FLUKES: D. Gordon, Carpenter, Francoeur, Papelbon, W. Peralta

Gordon continues to improve at the plate ... It was no surprise that Dee Gordon (2B, MIA) led the majors in steals for the second consecutive season in 2015. However, while many expected regression at the plate, he instead took another step forward, as he took home the National League batting crown as well. Can he do it again?
