FACTS/FLUKES: Medlen, Hundley, Walker, Ruggiano, Leake

Bar set high for Medlen ... One runs out of superlatives describing Kris Medlen's (RHP, ATL) second half of 2012. But it's fair to say he was the most dominant pitcher in the majors over the final two months. Not bad for a guy coming off Tommy John surgery and who didn't start a game until July 29.  Now, with sky-high expectations, can he produce similar results over a full season?
