FACTS/FLUKES: Arenado, Pomeranz, C. Kelly, E. Hernandez, Kingery

Arenado leaves Coors … After batting .315 with 41 HR in 2019, Nolan Arenado (3B, STL) amassed just a .253 batting average with 8 HR in 2021 before left shoulder pain (AC joint inflammation and a bone bruise) ended his season on September 20. That alone would’ve been cause for some concern heading into 2021, but a late-January trade to the Cardinals has added to the buzz. What can we expect in 2021?
