FACTS/FLUKES: Archer, Dozier, Odor, Porcello, C. Santana

Archer poised for breakout ... With a 2.18 ERA in hand on July 1, it looked as if Chris Archer (RHP, TAM) was on his way to stardom in 2015. The second half didn't quite go as planned, however, as Archer posted a 4.48 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over his last 16 starts. Which version of Archer should we expect in 2016?
