FACTS/FLUKES: Marte, Peavy, Carter, B. Norris, H. Kendrick

Marte the mighty? ... After nearing the $30 plateau in each of his first two full seasons, Starling Marte (OF, PIT) pushed the envelope in 2015 with a career year (.287 BA, 19 HR, 30 SB). Marte, traditionally known for his ability to run and hit for a solid BA, tossed in the power spike thanks to a first half outburst of 12 HR in 303 AB. Can Marte sustain the power gains in 2016?
