FACTS/ FLUKES: Blackmon, McGehee, Hicks, Rizzo, Haren

Blackmon rides perfect storm of luck, skill ... Charlie Blackmon (OF, COL) wasn't projected to get full time ABs, much less be in the top 10 in average,  homers and steals a quarter of the way through the season. Yet here he is in mid-May and performing at an elite level. Sure, no one sees him sustaining this level of production, but what's reasonable to expect?
