FACTS/FLUKES: Harper, Medlen, Gallardo, Cuddyer, Miley

Harper’s skills worth the hype ... Despite being overshadowed by fellow uber-prospect Mike Trout (LAA, OF) through his short career, Bryce Harper (OF, WAS) has enjoyed plenty of MLB success himself with a .272 career BA and 20+ HR in 2012 and 2013. Harper got off to a blazing start in 2013 (.344 BA, 9 HR in April) until he literally hit a wall in May, which resulted in a nagging knee injury followed by some hip inflammation down the stretch. Despite the injuries, how are Harper's skills looking over his first two MLB seasons?
