FACTS/FLUKES: Kang, Bruce, A. Wood, D. Santana, Eickhoff

Kang powers up … Despite spending 49 days on the shelf due to various injuries (recovery from torn meniscus and fractured tibia suffered in late 2015; plus sore left shoulder), Jung-ho Kang (3B, PIT) wound up with 21 HR and a .255 BA in 318 AB. Has the 30-year-old arrived as a legit power source?
