FACTS/FLUKES: Stanton, Aybar, Tomas, Kazmir, Rodney

Injuries continue to stand in way of Stanton ... Giancarlo Stanton (OF, MIA) had another season cut short by injury, as a broken hamate bone from late June, which was expected to sideline him four to six weeks, instead put an end to his season. Prior to the injury, his power skills were as strong as ever, and he was on pace for a 50-home run season. Does the upside outweigh the injury risk?
