The Regular Season has come to a close with some surprise leaders in the Final Statistics, some perennial appearances from established stars and some career years for young players.
David Wright of the NY Mets had a fantastic year for a club that struggled down the stretch. Posting in the top 10 with 42 Doubles on the year. Expect him to show up on a regular basis throughout his career, a great hitter.
Coors Field showed how friendly it could be for hitters as newcomer Holliday posted some fantastic statistics to join teammate Todd Helton in several categories. No surprise as the field was mighty friendly to Vinny Castilla for years as well.
On the American League side there were fewer surprises, although Teixeira and Hafner had breakout years as well as Michael Young from the Rangers.
For the most part, the leaders were Perennials like A-Rod, Ortiz, Jeter, Manny and Vladimir.
