Adam Jones for the Mariners. I can see Hernandez being extremely dominant this season.

Haven't some of these guys already proven they are solid Major Leaguers?

Solid still leaves room for improvement.

I can't wait to see Yunel Escobar for a whole season at SS. He had a great rookie year so I don't know if he qualifies for this list, but still not a lot of people know about him.
