FACTS/FLUKES: Granderson, Simmons, Gennett, Liriano, Hawkins

Can Granderson get power stroke back? ... Curtis Granderson (OF, NYM) got off to a horrific start in 2014, hitting just .129/.242/.212 across his first 99 plate appearances.  He somewhat righted the ship, and managed to reach 20 home runs, but it was a far cry from his last full season, when he hit 43 long balls in 2012. Is he in steep decline, or primed for a rebound?
