All of the above plus:
Chris B Young - Arizona, quick and a little pop in his bat, could hit 20-25 if he gets a good start.
Howie Kendrick - Angels, gets his first full time starting job. Just watch the Angels in general, they have talent that will get called up.
Chris Duncan - St Louis, came up last year but this is his first full year as a starter - 22 HR's in 90 games playing part time, he could put up 40 in a full season. He is a 1B but unless he can wrestle the job away from Pujols, he's an OF
Mike Jacobs - Florida, 166 total MLB games.. quietly took over last year and hit 20 HR's.
Kelly Johnson -2B Atlanta - converted outfielder, coming back from Tommy John surgery, It's make or break time.
Akinori Iwamura - The BJ Upton experiment may over in TB
Melky Cabrera NYY - may get a shot now that Sheffield is gone.
Andre Ethier - LAD - will play the full year, he hit .308 as a rookie playing part time last year.
Pitchers finally getting a shot:
Adam Wainwright - STL - sick, 72K's in 75 innings out of the bullpen, will be a starter this year.
Papelbon - nough said - first year as a starter
Olsen, Sanchez, Josh Johnson (may be an injury bust this year), Ricky Nolasco - FLA, could be the pitching farm of the year. And throw in Yusmeiro Petit, a 22 year old who beat out Nolasco for a starting job....
No one mentioned Emil Brown in KC......he is there, look for Reggie Sanders to suddenly be trade bait...

Robinson Cano- He got a shot last year but hopefully he'll do a lot better

Rockies SS Troy Tulkowski could end up an all star. In addition to Gordon, KC also has Billy Butler and Ryan Shealy, who both may contribute gratly before its all said and done. Stephen Drew of the D-backs. Howie Kendrick should be one of the best 2nd basemen this season. Carlos Quentin in the OF. Lastings Milledge may end up in the Mets OF sooner rather than later.
Fewer pitching names are coming to me offhand. Craig Hansen may end up the BoSox closer before summer. Pelfry/ Humber of the Mets may end up in the rotation out of spring training, though June is more likely.

Homer Bailey, Philip Hughes, and the 2 new pitchers for the Yankees and Red Sox. Looking forward to seeing them battle each other in a game.

I think Philip Hughes might be a player to watch if Carl Pavano or Kei Igawa don't work out for the Yanks
