FACTS/FLUKES: D. Murphy, Velasquez, Maurer, Freese, Harrison

Murphy enjoys breakout campaign … Daniel Murphy (1B/2B, WAS) had been a steady performer prior to 2016, but the modifications he made in the second half of 2015 with help from his then hitting coach, Kevin Long of the Mets, unlocked a whole new level of performance. The 31-year-old posted career highs in multiple categories, including a .347 BA and 25 HR. Can he keep it going in 2017?
