FACTS/FLUKES: J. Zimmermann, Lucroy, H. Alvarez, M. Carpenter, A. Reed

Can Zimmermann match his 2014 campaign? … Jordan Zimmermann (RHP, WAS) has been a very good pitcher for a few years, but he took a step forward in 2014 as he posted the best season of his career. The 29-year-old’s 2.66 ERA ranked 12th among qualified starters and his 1.07 WHIP was 9th best. Should we expect him to duplicate that level of success in 2015?
