Breakout player 2016

[FrozenRopes]

Every year my buddies and I have a small draft of who will have a breakout year and then the group votes. Last year, Travis was on his way, then Estrada was out voted by 1 over Pillar and Cola. Any thoughts on this year? Is it Goins? I have first pick this year and can't decide. Last year I chose Pillar 2nd.

How is Estrada and Cola, considered a breakout year? Or Goins for that matter, career year maybe, but breakout year?

[Spanky99]

Yeah, this is dumn.

[G-Snarls]

Saunders hopefully. Feel bad for him.

 

Yes

You guys have a weird definition of "breakout player" if Estrada was in the mix last year. He was a veteran with successful years in his history. He was better in 2012 than he was in 2015, arguably.

 

Anyway, the #1 choice should be Pompey.

[Brownie19]

You guys are harsh. Perhaps career year from someone who's not establish would be a better description.

 

How do you measure it? WAR

 

Pompey or whoever win the 5th spot in the rotation looks like a good choice to me

[Cyborg]

The thing is most of our team is established and has already broken out

 

Pompey, Hutch and Sanchez are like the only possibilities.

[FrozenRopes]

Yeah, this is dumn.

 

Not sure if anyone's ever told (I am sure they have) but you are the biggest idiot on this board.

[Angrioter]

CHAD GIRODO MLB

JOSE ESPADA MiLB

[Governator]

I really hope Saunders can have a healthy season, I'm looking forward to him not hobbling on one leg and smashing the ball. This will be his year, he has a lot to prove.

[Jimcanuck]

My pick is Smoak

[Spanky99]

Only by helmet wearing chinstrap folk.

[Spanky99]

My pick is Smoak

 

He, if everyone will breakout. Him and Saunders.

Exactly, there's career years, and breakouts.

[GD]

Ben Rowen

[BallsDeep]

Yeah, this is dumn.

 

dumn?!?!?!

[BallsDeep]

Sanchez

[canadiansportsjunkie]

I would consider this who takes the biggest step forward based on their value now...my vote Pompey

[Spanky99]

dumn?!?!?!

 

Sanchez isn't dumb.

[Slade]

I'm going to say Hutch but I do hope it's Sanchez.

[Maahfaace]

Yeah, this is dumn.

 

He, if everyone will breakout. Him and Saunders.

 

Lol spanky. I like how you said it was dumn then proceded to play along

[Angrioter]

Sanchez bandwagon continue. He have great talent, but can't developed for some reasons. Hope and pray Shapiro make him a real pitcher

[gbill2004]

Aaron Sanchez.

[intentional wok]

Really hope it's Hutch. Pompey and Sanchez still have time to season, but Hutch needs to become a staple of the rotation sooner rather than later. No more competing with castoffs and developing rooks to land SP5.

[gruber92]

Hutchison's future success will be in the pen.

 

JA Happ has something to prove, Chavez could be the next Estrada.

 

Pompey is the clear cut positional player choice,the kid has talent. Travis has already shown he's a big league ball player. Goins will be better offensively this year and will keep pressure on Travis.
