Scott Merkin profiled my favorite player, Joe Crede, yesterday.  This is a solid story and it goes on talk about how Joe Crede took some time to realize his potential.  He came up to the big leagues and hit like gang busters then took a couple of years off before he broke out in 2006.  While the 30 homeruns he hit were pretty impressive by itself, the fact that he only struck out 58 times in doing so was just as noteworthy.

PECOTA has him projected for another solid season.  His weighted mean average line is .268/.318/.477 with above average defense at third base.  They have him with 25 homeruns but they also see a high chance of another breakout.
