FACTS/FLUKES: Hamilton, Buehrle, Arencibia, Odorizzi, Aoki

Hamilton showing no signs of old self…When the Angels signed Josh Hamilton (OF, LAA) before the 2013 season, he was coming off five straight All Star appearances (including an MVP award) and had led the Rangers to two straight World Series.
