Every baseball season has its breakout stars. And while it's happening, it's good fun. We get to geek out at the unexpected surprise and turn every which way for answers about how it's happening.
Sadly, not every breakout season leads to lasting stardom. And this time of year being, well, this time of year, we might as well ignore the whole "time will tell" thing and try to spot the likely one-year wonders.
There are 10 breakout stars from 2014 that I'm just not sure about. Some of them have the potential to be good, solid players going forward. But stars? Eh, maybe not.
For the record, I chose to ignore small-sample-size studs, as well as guys who aren't projected to get a chance to repeat their breakout year. So, basically, no Justin Turner. Aside from that, a 2014 breakout star not being on this list must mean he's legit.
But enough about them. Let's get to the (probably) doomed, who are ranked in order of their regression likelihood.
