Place your vote for the player that you feel had the best "breakout" season in 2014. A "breakout player" is one who becomes a significant prospect after previously being considered less than such, or also one who rises from non-prospectdom to vault himself into prospect status. Players in their first pro seasons are also not eligible to be breakout players. Players nominated for Comeback Player of the Year are also not eligible to be nominated as breakout players.

Please do not vote based on who you think is the best prospect or who you think may perform better in the future. This poll will close on Thursday, September 18 at 3:00 pm ET. All stats are cumulative for all Red Sox minor league affiliates. Full stats are available here: www.soxprospects.com/stats/pitching.php and www.soxprospects.com/stats/hitting.php

Carlos Asuaje (GRE/SAL): 480 ABs, .310/.393/.533, 15 HR, 59/90  BB/K,  8 SB
Travis Shaw (POR/PAW):   490 ABs, .278/.353/.473, 21 HR, 57/99  BB/K,  7 SB
Nick Longhi (LOW):       109 ABs, .330/.388/.440,  0 HR, 11/22  BB/K,  0 SB
Manuel Margot (GRE/SAL): 420 ABs, .293/.356/.462, 12 HR, 39/54  BB/K, 42 SB
Brian Johnson (SAL/POR): 13-3, 2.13 ERA, 0.974 WHIP, 132/39 K/BB

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

This is one of those votes that seems to be not entirely obvious, then you think it through and make your decision, and immediately see that almost everyone has reached the same conclusion.

Precisely how I felt, actually.

LOL, I was thinking I was going to be in the minority on this one.
