| Break Out Season Candidates | ||
|---|---|---|
| Ian Desmond | WAS | Ian Desmond has all the potential in the world to become a top 10 SS in this league. In his last season in the minors between AA-AAA he batting .330. Obviously you can not expect him to replicate this as he is only a career .259 minor league hitter but as a SS if he can hit above .270 in the Bigs and hit 10-15 HRs atop an up and coming Nationals team, Desmond can score some runs and can easily steal 20+ bases. Look for Desmond to put it all together this season at the age of 25. |
| Alcides Escobar | KC | Escobar really dissapointed last season for the Brewers after hitting over .300 in his first stint with the squad. Alcides was packaged in a deal for Zach Greinke and is now the leader of the Royals talented infield. If he gets slotted at the top of the lineup in front of Billy Butler, Mike Aviles and Kila Ka'aihue, Escobar could see 100 runs on top of 30 - 40 SBs. |
| Reid Brignac | TB | As the opening day SS for the Rays, Brignac may finally see 600 ABs. In just 301 ABs last season he drove in 45 runs and hit 8 HRs, while batting .256. There will be very little pressure for Brignac to produce so he should be comfortable hitting towards the bottom of a very good lineup. There will be plenty of RBI opportunites for him and as his minor league stats show ( .281BA, 74HRs, and 358RBI) Brignac can swing the bat. |
