TV Show: 1a) The Shield 1b) 24

Breakout year: Todd Linden.

EDIT:

How can A-Rod break out more than he does every year? Are we talking .400? 80 bombs? Not trying to be a smartass or anything...I just wonder what A-Rod's done, other than in the playoffs, that could be considered below average that he could improve on.

My Favorite Television show(s): The Office, The Shield, Lost, and Rescue Me.

Break-Out Season: Alex Rios

Y4L, current or past television shows. Whichever you prefer.

Ok then, I suppose I have a small list of shows that I never get tired of watching.

The current ones are Monk, Smallville and Psych.

The ones that are not on any more would be Quantum Leap, The Wild Wild West and The Fugitive.

Is Psych good? Been meaning to watch that. Quantum Leap is one of my all-time favorites. Have the series finale on my PC. The ending gets me every time. There was talk of a television movie, but not much has come of it yet.

I think you see what I mean. If he has a good playoff showing, then his year will be complete. The post season is key.

Sure, whatever he's done in the regular season can't be questioned. But the reason why I brought his name up for breakout year players is because of that possible out he has at the end of the year to go somewhere else. The numbers he can put up this year because of that can be off the charts.

Psych is good. I started watching it because it is on right after Monk. My wife says I remind her of Monk (good or bad, take it any way you want) :) because I can remember anything and I have a certain place for everything. Hell, I call it being organized.

I have Quantum Leap Season five (the last season) on DVD and it is great. Sad ending to a wonderful show. And I don't know why a movie was never made. All I heard about that were rumors.

Fair enough - I can buy the postseason thing. I was just looking solely at regular season performances.

A few candidates. Aaron Harang (you could say that was last season, but nobody really thinks of him when you think of top-tier starters, and he really is a top-tier starter), and Josh Barfield - last season he was great away, but mediocre at home. This was probably in large part due to Petco park. Now he's moving to a really good offensive park, and I could total see him going 20/20.

TV: non-running: Seinfeld

running shows: Entourage (Best current show hands down), 24, Criminal Minds, CSI NY, Prison Break (though not that much anymore), Shark, and the only reality show i watch: The Apprentice.

And Jeopardy!

Breakout year: barring any injuries, Alex Rios should have a great year.

Part 1: SCTV, without a doubt. The Daily Show and Monty Python are great too.

Part 2: Matt Cain. Mark Teahen. Robinson Cano. (With homers upwards of 20 or 25 and RBIs upwards of 90 or 100.) Also, like 27 said, Josh Barfield also should have a good year. I could see him with a 30/20 year, and a BA around .300. The only thing that's a bit worrisome is his lack of plate discipline. (coincidentally, I touched on this same thing with Barfield in my blog - see sig. :D)

If those 3 players didn't have breakout years last season (maybe with the exception of Cain), then I don't know what a breakout season really is.

I don't think any of these guys are superstars, though it's arguable with Zimmerman.
