To me, "should have" means that there was some indicator tat showed us what was to come or a projected increase in playing time. The scenario I usually think of is that vet that's been around awhile, but is still in his late 20's. We think he's plateaued based on our perception of him, but we've overlooked some of the underlying stats. It's also easy to forget that sometimes great players have yet another gear that we weren't expecting.
I can't recall why since I don't have my stuff with me, but here are some ideas:
Kurt Suzuki Wilson Ramos John Danks Zack Greinke back to CY level I know this has been beaten to death, but Kelly Johnson is hitting in front of Jose Bautista and Kelly's been good before.

Billy Butler. He'll be 26 this year, owns a lifetime .300 average. Doubles the past 3 years: 51, 45, 44. The power's coming, the lineup around him keeps getting better. 1B eligible in Yahoo this year.
I haven't heard much of Mike Aviles and he's the starting shortstop for Boston, owns a carrer .288 AVG and last year BOS numbers projected over a full season would look really good.

Or he will become Markakis v2.0

What a horrible comparison.
an extensive analysis, based on personal feelings by a Butler owner.

That's the problem when people baselessly throw out, "Those doubles turn into Home Runs ya know!" It was pretty well thought several years ago that Markakis did not have the make up, nor the skill set to ever produce solid HR totals, despite his gap power. In fact, The Artful Dodger and I wrote a piece on it, comparing he and Kemp several seasons ago, and that exact thing was pointed out. His ISO power has steadily decreased in each of the last five seasons. What many predicted of him has come to fruition -- he never developed the power that the "Doubles turn into Home Runs!" crowd hoped he would. Butler, on the other hand, possesses legitimate 25 HR power in his bat (possibly 30), which he displayed over the latter portion of last season.
