I agree Conor. Johnson, Gomes, & Mench were hitting pretty well last year almost all season long. Webb & Lee have been productive for atleast 2 or 3 years now. All 5 of these guys were on the rise last year. I think I have some better candidates. How about Hanley Ramirez & Josh Willingham on the Marlins? No one really knew about the guys until this season. They are good young solid players who I think will only get better. Ryan Langerhans with Atlanta? Xavier Nady with the NY Mets? Edwin Encarnacion & Brandon Phillips with Cincinnati? Jason Lane with Houston? Prine Fielder with Milwaukee? You could also make a cases for Rickie Weeks & JJ Hardy. Conor Jackson with Arizona? Josh Barfield with San Diego? Garrett Atkins with Colorado? Kevin Youkilis with Boston? Alex Rios(can you say underated?) with Toronto? Ty Wigginton & Damon Hollins with Tampa Bay? Those 2 have never really been good until this season. Maybe they are maturing as players. Chris Shelton with Detroit? Nick Swisher with Oakland?
