FACTS/FLUKES: Carpenter, Greene, G. Cole, Davidson, M. Taylor

Is Carpenter a rebound candidate?... Coming into 2017, there was hope that Matt Carpenter (1B, STL) might build on his emerging power and BA skills to turn in a career year; instead, he posted his lowest BA ever and saw his fantasy value slide to a level not seen since his rookie season. Can we hope for a return to form in 2018?
