FACTS/FLUKES: Gardner, Lewis, LaRoche, C.J. Wilson, Paredes

Gardner on pace for career year ... Brett Gardner (OF, NYY) posted his fourth $20 season in five years in 2014, but not in the normal way we'd expect. Gardner more than doubled his previous career-high HR total with "only" 21 SB and a career-low BA. Now over two months into 2015, Gardner is still hitting for some power, and the SB totals have returned as well. Is he morphing into an elite producer?
