FACTS/FLUKES: Harper, C. Taylor, B. Crawford, Strop, T. Richards

Harper brings power to Philly .. Bryce Harper (OF, PHI) stayed healthy in 2018, which allowed him to get back across the 30-homer plateau for the first time since 2015. However, his batting average continued to fluctuate, falling 70 points from the previous season. Fresh off signing a huge deal with the Phillies, is this the year he puts it all together again?
