Re: Breakout Years

but if I had to pick a player to break out it would be Choi. He tailed off in the 2nd half but I know he has the potential to hit 30 HR's/100 RBI's.

Actually I was watching a broadcast with the Dodgers and the announcers were saying that the Dodger brass don't think Choi is even an everyday 1B. They don't think he's durable enough and doesn't have enough power for the position.

Not this year, Dreifort is expected to miss most, if not all of this season (that $55 million was money well spent ).

Another of the all time worst big money signings Chan Ho Park needs to have a big year. The Rangers have already said that they would consider eating the remainder of his contract and cut him if he did not look good this spring (so far 10.80 ERA in 2 starts).

Yup. The knee surgery he had last september is expected to sideline him all year.

Re: Breakout Years

Who from your team do you think is primed for a breakout year?

Mine:
Adam Eaton
Khalil Greene
Ramon Hernandez

What makes you think that Eaton and Hernandez are PRIMED for breakout years?

Ramon Hernandez, is a solid catcher, but he always gets hurt. If he were to stay healthy, in that lineup, he could probably hit .280, 20-25 HRs, and 70-80 RBIs, but is that really that much of a BREAKOUT compared to his last two seasons?

And Adam Eaton? Why? Sure, I'd be pulling for the Seattle native to reach the hype of being a First Round pick, but I don't see any reason to believe that he will. He was better in 2000 and 2001 vs. 2003 and 2004, and he hasn't been improving in Ks, IPS, ERA, OPPBA, HRs, etc. Why is he primed for a breakout year?

Rich Harden

Eric Chavez- he's been consistently around 30/100/gold glove the past 3-4 seasons...but he hasn't had that huge/mvp type year around 40/120, that he's been expected to do...he was on track last yr with 29 hr's and leading the AL in walks, but out 6 weeks with the broken hand cost him..hopefully he can stay healthy and its this year
