FACTS/FLUKES: Votto, Hundley, Storen, Guthrie, Jones

Votto: Prime skills ... Joey Votto (1B, CIN) faced a tall order last year—the assumption that he could repeat his 2010 MVP and career highs in average, home runs, RBIs and SBs. Instead, his numbers were down across the board, though still very good. Does last season make a new benchmark for which to base expectations?
