2009 FBS Breakout Player: Geovany Soto
Team: Chicago Cubs
Bats: Right
Position: C
In 2008 we called Geovany Soto a sleeper. This year he is elevated to a breakout player. 2008 was just a sampling of what we can expect out of this powerhouse catcher. What you can't ignore about this catcher is his .868 OPS. He had an OBP of .364, and with another solid lineup around him he should see plenty of good pitches. Soto won't exceed his power numbers this season, but we see him improving his average and overall production. Like all catchers, his numbers will fade near the end, but far less then other catchers. Expect pitchers to respect this bat this year and you will find him on base allot more.

The True Guru Projections: 22 Hrs, 97 RBI, 79 Runs, .304 Avg, 2 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.
