FACTS/FLUKES: Verlander, Cruz, Kinsler, Britton, Pomeranz

Vintage Verlander no more ... Two months into the 2014 season, the Justin Verlander (RHP, DET) we once knew has yet to make an appearance. He sports a 3.99 ERA and a 57/31 K/BB, and has looked more like a run-of-the-mill starter than a former Cy Young award winner. Is it time to hit the panic button?
