MLB: 10 Under-the-Radar Players Who Will Make an Impact in 2011

Predicting the final stat line for Albert Pujols or Roy Halladay is almost boring. Just look at the last ten years of consistently stellar production and pick some numbers in their statistical range.

Players like Carlos Gonzalez offer a little bit more excitement. Acquired by the Rockies in the trade with the Oakland A's that sent Matt Holliday to Oakland and brought Huston Street to Colorado, Gonzalez burst onto the scene in 2010, winning the National League batting crown with a .336 average.
