2009 FBS Breakout Player: Evan Longoria

Team: Tampa Bay
Bats: Right
Position: 3B

Evan Longoria had a tremendous rookie season and easily earned the ROY award for the American League. The facts are, he didn't even play a full season as the Rays held him off the team for a few weeks to basically have Longoria another year under rookie contract. Longoria is an absolute stud with very few weaknesses. He is a great defensive third basemen, but he is also one of the premiere offensive third basemen. He has tremendous power and can hit for average. Longoria's big problem is patience at the plate. We feel he will develop that like most players do. Once he develops that patience and masters it Longoria will be a MVP candidate. This year you will see him working on that and because of him developing his patience he will go through some slumps, however he will not have a sophomore slump. Longoria came the majors quickly because is his was meant to be here. Expect 30+ homeruns out of him, but the average will depend on how quickly he learns patience at the plate.

The True Guru Projections: 31 Hrs, 105 RBI, 85 Runs, .277 Avg, 9 SB

We feel he will achieve these projections through our formula based on our secret formula of 11 herbs and spices (its locked at Fort Knox). Of course we are assuming he stays relatively healthy for the entire season.
