FACTS/FLUKES: Hosmer, Robertson, Moreland, Kluber, Joyce

Will Hosmer tap potential? ... The sour taste of Eric Hosmer's (1B, KC) abysmal first two months of 2013 (1 HR, 55 PX) may still linger in some owners' minds. However, his 1H/2H BPV splits (58/64) say things weren't quite as bad as they seemed, and his overall numbers looked eerily similar to his much-heralded '11 rookie season.
