Now that the season is almost over, who did breakout?

I'll nominate Adam Lind. .305/.370/.562, 35HR 114RBI, 46 doubles.

Aaron Hill also from the Jays might qualify as well.

Rick Porcello - lesser degree perhaps...
Brad Hawpe

1. Cameron Maybin: I would put Maybin at the top of my list this year of breakout players. He will be hitting leadoff and the starting centerfielder for the Marlins, where he will have a chance to score plenty of runs with Hanley Ramirez being moved to 3rd in the lineup.

2. Elijah Dukes: I agree with Dukes having a tremenous year, as long as he get focus on the game and stay consistent.

3. Shin-Soo Choo: Fantastic name, even better bat. After being called up at the end of May, he hit for over .300 with 14 home runs and 66 RBI's. He finished strong as well, hitting .400 with 5 HR's and 24 RBI in September.

4. Nelson Cruz: Simply a monster in Triple A last year (342 with 37 homers, 24 steals and a .429 OBP and .695 SLUG), and may hit cleanup this year for the Rangers.

5. Adam Wainwright: I have a feeling Wainwright may win 20 games and have over 180 strikeouts this year. He has great stuff, and could finally bring it all together this year.

1. Cameron Maybin: In the minors for most of the year, and was most certainly not a breakout player in 2009...look out for 2010!!

2009 Stats: Avg: .236 HR: 4 RBI: 12 R: 25 SB: 1

2. Elijah Dukes: Avg: .254 HR: 8 RBI: 57 R: 36 SB: 3

3. Shin-Soo Choo: Avg: .303 HR: 19 RBI: 83 R: 86 SB: 20

4. Nelson Cruz: Avg: .261 HR: 33 RBI: 75 R: 76 SB: 20

5. Adam Wainwright: W: 19 K: 204 ERA: 2.58

I just thought I would take a look back at my predictions and see their stats.

JH was injured most of the year. Which is, what the Reds were afraid of. His body being broken down after all the years of substance abuse...
