FACTS/FLUKES: Walker, Molina, Capuano, Lynn, Pagan

Can Walker consolidate skills? ... Neil Walker (2B, PIT) proved to be a good power-average combination for a middle infielder during his rookie season, going .296-12-66 in 426 ABs in 2010. But the average fell in 2011, and it took another 170 ABs to manage the same HR output. Yet, he did swipe nine bases. Now, the question is: Can he put it all together?
