Quite a few actually..Heyward should pass up Matt Diaz in RF for Atlanta..Neftali Feliz is either gonna close or start for Texas and be LIGHTS OUT..Buster Posey may pop up this year with SF..Brian Matusz should pop up in a depleted Baltimore rotation...Kyle Drabek may pop up for Toronto this year..he was the main piece in the Roy Halladay deal..just a few names to keep your eye out for.

Gordan Beckham is a big breakout candidate, tho I think everyone knows this. A few other guys that I think will have big years:

Tommy Hanson
Cole Hammels
Yunel Escobar
BJ Upton
Billy Butler

Yeah Beckham is gonna be a stud. I also agree with Cole Hamels..finally has the pressure of being THE #1 guy off his shoulders and can just go pitch

Good luck with that. Heyward is raking. Gonna be hard for them to send him down. He hit an absolute BOMB off of Scherzer yesterday....455 ft.

That home run is what made me offer the deal. Thankfully the guy accepted it because hes a big fan of Billingsley. Haha

Thanks man, just made a recent move though..

Sent Carlos Gonzalez and Chad Billingsley to my friend for Jason Heyward and Cole Hamels. I think Hamels will get back to his old form this year due to the fact he doesn't have as much on his shoulders and doesn't HAVE to be the ace anymore..plus who knows what Heyward could do this year and a player w/ his level of talent I'm happy to have. Also dropped Casey Blake for Aroldis Chapman.

But still mostly the same..
