FACTS/FLUKES: C. Santana, J. Johnson, A. Jackson, W. Chen, Cisnero

Santana can't recapture power stroke ... Carlos Santana (C, CLE) had "bounceback season" written all over him following 2012's impressive 2H (13 HRs, 84 BPV). But instead, he's plodding through this season at a relatively uninspired pace. Is another strong second half in the cards?
