FACTS/FLUKES: Harper, Fiers, Holliday, Melancon, Phillips

Disappointing 2014 for Harper… Bryce Harper (OF, WAS) failed to deliver anywhere near the value his fantasy owners expected from him in 2014. He missed two months after suffering a torn ligament in his left thumb in late April, but rallied to slug 10 HR over the final two months of the season. Now folks are wondering if 2015 is the year Harper lives up to the hype.
