Who is this seasons darkhorse/surprise teams/player?

[RandomH]

Rich Harden will win the most games in the NL.
Micah Hoffpauir will hit 30 HRs this year, and the Cubs will finally realize that he isn't a AAA player.
Oh and the Marlins will win the divison.

I like Hoffpauir but I don't think he'll get enough at-bat's to do 30 this year (but I know he's got the capability & I'm glad the Cubs are giving him this shot)!

Individual breakout player's:
1a) Pablo Sandoval (going to provide a .320+ avg & 100+Rbi's this year!)
1b) Nelson Cruz (going to be HUGE in power & average & this year's accomplishment will overshadow Chris Davis's breakout performance!)
2) Mike Jacobs (had a breakout power sugre last year but will put up even bigger number's this year!)
4) Clayton Kershaw (approach 200 K's w/15+ Win's)
5) Zack Greinke (will build on last year's breakout/solid campaign with ERA in the low 3.00's/15+ Win's/breaks the 200 K plateau!)
(Other's to "Breakout: Chris Davis, C.Maybin, Ian Stewart, Chone Figgins, Matt Cain, Willy Taveras)

Vet's whom will have a "Bounce-Back" Year:
1) Randy Johnson (will help SF Giants Starting Pitching staff to lead the league in K's as Randy/Lincecum/Cain lead the charge)
2) Gary Sheffield (won't have the type of year he had in his prime but 30 hr's w/.285+ avg. isn't out of the question)
3) Miguel Tejada/Ivan Rodriguez (both will ressurect thier power now that they've settled into a team that supports them on & off the field- & Tejada is in the "clear" as he only received probation on his recent charge's)
4) Carlos Delgado (the reason I didn't rank him higher is because he had a monster year last year, but he still gets put here because he has been written off by many columnist's & sports writer's who are expecting a down-tick in production...I'm saying now that he's going to "Turn Back the Clock" as this year he hit's for 35+bomb's & maintains a .300+ avg. to boot!)
5) Paul Konerko (though I'm not suggesting he'll be the Konerko of old whom provides a .300+ avg or 40 HR's, I do think he'll produce 28-30 HR's/ 100+ RBI's/ & maintain a .275+ batting avg.; and that's still a huge year!)
(Other Veteran's that look to have a "Comeback" Season: Scott Rolen, Travis Hafner, Erik Bedard, Justin Verlander, Freddy Sanchez, Derek Lowe)

Just my opinion guy's & gal's, I hope you enjoyed the read & my speculation!
