FACTS/FLUKES: Upton, Minor, Brown, Parnell, Lucroy

Upton remains unpredictable ... Justin Upton's (OF, ATL) 2013 debut with Atlanta was a microcosm of what has been a rollercoaster career thus far. He had two white-hot months in April and August (.298 BA, 20 HR combined) sandwiched between four, well, awful months (.247, 7 HR) the rest of the way. Does a look under the hood explain what's going on here?
