RISING
Jose Hernandez (Col): Good fastball hitter moves to Coors! Should top 30 homers
Orlando Cabrera (Mon): Back problems affected his swing in 2002; has mid-teens power with speed
Cristian Guzman (Min): Shoulder and knee injuries slowed his aggressive style; will steal 20+
Rich Aurilia (SF): Slowed by injured elbow in 2002; expect 20+ homers and 90 RBI
FALLING
Jimmy Rollins (Phi): Poor sophomore season; running game may take a hit with addition of Thome
Omar Vizquel (Cle): No way he hits 14 HR and 72 RBI again; expect 5-50 at best
Cesar Izturis (LA): Hit just .195/.214/.253 in 292 at-bats against righties!
ROOKIES
Jose Reyes (NYM): at AA, .287, 46R, 2HR, 24RBI, 27SB, 16BB, 42SO
