With tomorrow's game being the first spring game on TV it made me wonder who will be this year break-out player in spring training? Every year it seems some one comes from nowhere, and opens some eyes(Charles Thomas 2004, Gregor Blanco 2008).With the obvious favorites being Schafer & Hanson who do y'all think will be 2009's spring break-out player?(I'm not asking who will make the team. I'm asking which prospect will have the most productive overall spring).

Ever since this whole A-Rod steriod story broke on Saturday with the news that the government has a 104 person list of failed steriod tests taken in 2003, it has made me wonder, "are there any former Braves on that list"? We all know that eventually all these names will leak out, so time will tell on some former Braves( Javy Lopez, Ryan Klesco, Andrew Jones). So do ya'll think there are going to be any former Braves leaked from that list?
