FACTS/FLUKES: Heyward, T. Ross, I. Davis, Haren, Quentin

Will Heyward live up to the hype? ... Coming off a 20/20 year in just his age-22 season, Jason Heyward (OF, ATL) was widely expected to take the next step in 2013. He fell way shy of expectations, though, with only 14 homers and two steals. Injuries certainly played a role (hamstring, jaw), and Heyward did finish strong strong over 170 2H ABs (83% ct%, 134 PX, 100 BPV). Are there signs of a full breakout coming in 2014?
