FACTS/FLUKES: Desmond, Barnhart, Ahmed, Arrieta, Kuhl

Desmond a good bet to rebound ... After signing with Colorado, big things were expected from Ian Desmond (OF, COL) in 2017, but instead, he fell flat on his face. Always durable in the past, he missed time due to a broken hand suffered during spring training, and later a calf strain, and his power production tanked. Will he rebound in 2018?
