I am thinking George Foster...Didn't he kind of come out of nowhere to hit 52 homers one year? I think he only hit about 20 or so the years before...

I just checked griffeys stats and that is close to what i was looking for...he averaged like 25 for 5 years, and then he averaged about 45 for the next 6 years...
any others?
I am mainly just curious if some of these "proposed prospects with potential", will some day "surge"...for the most part it seems like you either got it, or you don't....
If you don't got it after 2 full seasons, you likely never will...

Yeah, in 1977 he hit 52 and 1978 he hit 40, but never hit over 30 any other year. From looking at the roster from those years, I would guess they moved him up in the lineup to hit in front of Bench. The same way Maris was moved in front of Mantle in 1961.
On that note, Maris hit 61 in 1961, 39 in 1960 and 33 in 1962, but no year above 28 besides those.

if im not mistaken chipper would be a good one. 23, 30, 21, and 34 hr's. then a monster year of 45. he was close with 36 and 38 after that, but then tapered of and has been consistent at around 25-29 since.

It's hard to believe Helton hit 49 one year, don't know about roids though.

Every hitter of the last 10-15 years has steroids hanging over him. I also thought of Boggs' 1-year surge, but IIRC, that year there was a widespread increase in homers, leading people to believe the ball had been juiced. And going back, Felix Mantilla's sublime 1964 season was a real fluke.

Definitely not him. IMO, he had to have done steroids.
