FACTS/FLUKES: Arenado, Happ, Mejia, Bumgarner, Hudson

Arenado is money in the bank ... Nolan Arenado (3B, COL) continues to produce at an extremely high level year in and year out. In 2019, he got back over the 40 home run plateau, while also hitting for a career-best .315 average. Is there any reason to expect a drop-off in his performance in 2020?
