FACTS/FLUKES: Harper, Panik, Shaw, Nola, Chen

How much will Harper bounce back? ... After a monster 2015 campaign, Bryce Harper (OF, WAS) was one of the top picks off the board in 2016. His production took a significant step back, though, particularly in the second half, when he hit just .223 with seven home runs across 242 at-bats. His price tag this year suggests that many owners are expecting a rebound, but is he worth paying up for?
