FACTS/FLUKES: Benintendi, Taillon, Sanó, Ottavino, A. Rosario

Benintendi more of a volume play... When we last checked in on Andrew Benintendi (OF, KC) prior to the 2020 season, Brandon Kruse cited multiple changes in his approach, as well as adding weight as reasons for a sub-optimal 2019 campaign. The 26-year-old former top prospect dealt with a rib injury that essentially derailed his entire year last season, and he's now two years removed from earning early-round caliber R$. Can he reclaim some of his previous success with his new club, or has he already delivered his best production?
