FACTS/FLUKES: Morton, Polanco, Fiers, T. Hernandez, and C. Santana

Morton has the stuff... When we checked on Charlie Morton (RHP, TAM) in the offseason, Derrick Boyd noted that his skills should play "just fine in Tampa." His insight has been spot on. Through 44 IP, his 56 strikeouts, 2.64 ERA, and 1.22 WHIP have led to a double-digit R$. With an F Health grade, can Morton post his third-consecutive double-digit R$ season?
