James Loney Leaner & Meaner In 2010?

Dylan Hernandez from the L.A. Times has a recent article discussing James Loney in 2010. Loney, 26, could be a huge breakout player in 2010. In 2009 he drove in 90 runs, but only managed to hit 13 home runs, which in the world of baseball doesn't cut it for first basemen. Loney hopes to silence the questions regarding his lack of power in 2010. He arrived to training camp noticeably leaner and has added significant muscle. 


The 2010 Chone Projections are projecting another similar season for Loney in 2010. They are projecting Loney to hit .294/.355/.446 with 13 home runs, 83 RBI's, and 66 runs in 527 at bats. Is Loney going to breakout? Will he find power in 2010? Or will Loney put up another consistent season? Only time can answer these questions, but he is one player to keep your eyes on in 2010.


Loney was recently asked his opinion on the subject by Dylan Hernandez his response, "I feel this is the year."
