</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- T8121274 --><!-- Sesame Modified: 02/10/2005 17:01:56 --><!-- sversion: 16 $Updated: emack$ -->The following ranks last season's 27-year-olds (on opening day) by the production they will be projected to provide Fantasy owners in 2005.
You will notice a number of intriguing names who are coming off their celebratory age-27 breakthrough. Most notably: No. 1 Miguel Tejada, No. 2 Michael Young, No. 5 Brad Lidge, No. 13 Lew Ford, No. 15 Craig Wilson, No. 17 Ryan Drese, No. 20 Keith Ginter and No. 31 Bronson Arroyo.
A few promising names here that I see celebrating their career season one year after age 27 include: No. 9 A.J. Burnett, No. 10 Pat Burrell, No. 14 Freddy Garcia, No. 21, A.J. Pierzynski, No. 22 Jeff Weaver, No. 23 Aaron Miles, No. 24 Jason Lane, No. 30 Alex Sanchez, No. 31 Arroyo, No. 34 David Ross, No. 38 Ross Gload, No. 42 Robb Quinlan, No. 44 Adam Everett, No. 45 Alex A. Gonzalez. Be it health, an increase in playing time or just plain maturation, those guys are prime breakout candidates.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- T8121274 --><!-- Sesame Modified: 02/10/2005 17:01:56 --><!-- sversion: 16 $Updated: emack$ -->The following ranks last season's 27-year-olds (on opening day) by the production they will be projected to provide Fantasy owners in 2005.
You will notice a number of intriguing names who are coming off their celebratory age-27 breakthrough. Most notably: No. 1 Miguel Tejada, No. 2 Michael Young, No. 5 Brad Lidge, No. 13 Lew Ford, No. 15 Craig Wilson, No. 17 Ryan Drese, No. 20 Keith Ginter and No. 31 Bronson Arroyo.
A few promising names here that I see celebrating their career season one year after age 27 include: No. 9 A.J. Burnett, No. 10 Pat Burrell, No. 14 Freddy Garcia, No. 21, A.J. Pierzynski, No. 22 Jeff Weaver, No. 23 Aaron Miles, No. 24 Jason Lane, No. 30 Alex Sanchez, No. 31 Arroyo, No. 34 David Ross, No. 38 Ross Gload, No. 42 Robb Quinlan, No. 44 Adam Everett, No. 45 Alex A. Gonzalez. Be it health, an increase in playing time or just plain maturation, those guys are prime breakout candidates.
