FACTS/FLUKES: Franco, Altherr, Finnegan, Davies, Swanson

Will Franco bounce back?... Big things were expected from Maikel Franco (3B, PHI) this season, and he didn't disappoint early on, connecting for five home runs, along with a .299 average, in his first 17 games. He's had his ups and downs since then, and is currently mired in a homerless streak of 79 plate appearances. In the end, he's not going to live up to his draft day cost. Does it create a buying opportunity?
