FACTS/FLUKES: Y. Gurriel, Grichuk, Leclerc, Lynn, Simmons

He won't repeat... but could he? When we last checked in on Yuli Gurriel (1B, HOU) in 2019, we noted that he could see a power spike in the second half if things fell into place.  They did in a big way, and it led to a career year at age 35.
