Nick Markakis breakout season?

He's going to be hitting #3 in the lineup and had a great second half last year. I see a .300 30 HR 100 RBI 100 run season.

I believe he has the potential to do that, but not this year. I project a .300 average but around 20 homers and around 80 RBI's. Dont get me wrong i think he is a great upcoming player but he needs one more year to get everthing together. Plus you never know if the sophomore slump will get to him like it did to jhonny peralta.

He just needs to get a lot of at bats against Carlos Silva.

In that case he would have even better numbers than what Bow2Yao said.....

I'm kinda thinking this. I think it'll take one more year to get him to what B2Y11 predicted.

Crabkakis definitely has the ability to put up those #'s. I really like his approach to hitting at the plate.

Gonna go with .295, 25 hrs 85 rbis. He's in a good spot in the lineup (batting behind Mora and in front of Tejada).

Markakis now 2 for his last 20 at the plate and batting .245 after Saturday's 0-for-5. Hopefully the slump won't last too much longer. He's not alone.

Mora is now at .237
Roberts .264
Millar .231
Huff .233

All these guys need to produce. Millar ought to be out of the league. Ripken could put up better numbers than Millar. All he does is lead cheers because never being the one causing people to cheer is so routine for Millar.

Nick gets on track a little tonight with a shot to right in the 2nd.

He's killing me. He stinks it up and then when I bench him on my fantasy team. He goes yard every time. :banghead:

Seriously, I hope he has a strong year, he kinda reminds me of our boy in Cleveland(Grady Sizemore).
