FACTS/FLUKES: Kuroda, Milone, McLouth, Beckham, Berry

Can Kuroda repeat Big Apple success? ... The move from arguably the league's softest division (NL West) to its most challenging (AL East) had little effect on Hiroki Kuroda (RHP, NYY). At age 38, he shined under the bright New York lights, finishing with 16 wins and a 3.32 ERA. Given the factors working against him last year, he must've been aided by some luck, right?
