Adam Lind first year struggles
This time last year, there was a large group of people who thought Adam Lind was an A- prospect, based mostly on his performance in the minors in 2006, where he hit 330/394/556 between AA and AAA
This year in the majors, however, he hit 238/278/400, looking completely over-matched for most of the season
Despite his low batting average and very low Walk Rate, he still hit for a very nice amount of power (11 HR in 89 games) with an IsoPower of .162, which isn't too bad for a rook
So what can we expect from Lind moving forward? Was this a bump in the road, or was his high K rate catching up to him? Is next year a breakout year for Mr Lind?

Is next year a breakout year for Mr Lind?

I feel like they rushed Lind
He seems to "sort of" get on track once he was near the bottom of the lineup where the young guys on the Jays were actually winning some games.
I don't think he'll breakout and I feel like it will be more of a slow progression. He will have to earn his playing time as well. I also don't want him shielded from left-handed pitchers which the Jays were employing. He will become a platoon player that way.
2008 probably isn't a breakout year but he will get his at-bats to prove he's what we (or some) thought he was in 2009.
