I think I'm basically required as an Indians fan to love Grady Sizemore (not that I'm complaining...the kid's ridiculously good and a lot of fun to watch).

Seeing if Eric Chavez can be his once healthy self this year. He has had all the necessary surgeries so im hoping he can come back and play great for us like he used to.
Albert Pujols, Adam Wainwright, and Rick Ankiel. Prospects if they make it: Colby Rasmus, David Freese, and Brett Wallace
Seeing if Fontenot can be an every day second baseman and if Carlos Marmol can be a quality closer.
Matt Kemp. I want to see him put up 25+/40+, win a gold glove, and get his name right up there with Sizemore and Beltran as one of the game's best CFs.
And Chad Billingsley. If he continues to improve (he turns only 25 in July) and stays healthy, he'll be nothing short of flat out sick. I expect him to be very seriously mentioned in the Cy Young discussion for 2009.
I'm also excited and interested to see how Kershaw's '09 turns out, but I don't have lofty expectations for him... I just want to see him get close to 200 innings, improve his BB rate, win double digit games, and put up at least a 115 or so ERA+.
And I'm excited to see which of the many washed up ST invitee pitchers becomes the next Jose Lima or Chan Ho Park for the Dodgers.
