FACTS/FLUKES: Kennedy, Werth, Axford, Prado, Barmes

How good is Ian Kennedy? ... Ian Kennedy (RHP, ARI) followed up a strong first season in Arizona with an eye-opening 2011. He notched 21 wins, compiled a league-best winning percentage (.840) with a sub-3.00 ERA and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting. He's a no-brainer atop the Diamondbacks rotation, but does he have the skills to be a true fantasy ace?
