FACTS/FLUKES: Craig, Samardzija, Scutaro, Reed, Span

Craig a reliable BA source ... Fresh off a breakout season in 2012 (.307 BA, 22 HR), Allen Craig (OF, STL) was a hot commodity entering 2013 drafts. Craig delivered in his encore as he hit .315 in 2013 en route to another $20+ season. He fell short, though, in the power department despite reaching a career-high AB total. Can Craig get the power back while repeating another .300+ BA?
