FACTS/FLUKES: Franco, Kang, Hamilton, Bradley, Koehler

Franco still in growth mode ...  Maikel Franco (3B, PHI) burst onto the scene in 2015 with 14 home runs and a .280 batting average in 304 at-bats. Big things were expected of him this season, and while the home runs have been there, he's been a disappointment so far. Can he still live up to the hype?
