Baseball season - surprises/disappointments?

With the regular season over, what are some of the biggest surprises/disappointments thus far?

SURPRISES:
Barry Bonds: We know he's good, but oldest first-time batting champ ever?
Alfonso Soriano: As a Yankees fan, I'm glad this guy's on his way to being a superstar. An unreal season.
Twins: Good for them - Torii Hunter is a star, and it just goes to show that homegrown talent can still win (even if it was a bad division)
Eric Gagne: Turned into a nasty closer, one of the best in baseball.
Jason Jennings: A rookie who had a great season pitching for the Rockies - this kid could be a hell of a #1 starter for a few years.
Jason Simonotacchi (sp?) - from the Italian national team to being a very good starter for St. Louis.
Chris Hammonds: Went from out of baseball to possibly finishing the season with an ERA under 1. One of the best set-up men in baseball.

DISAPPOINTMENTS:
Red Sox: I hate them, but come on, with a batting champ and two twenty-game winners, how do you not make the playoffs?
Mike Hampton: Maybe they should just have him hitting full-time. Coors Field doesn't make THAT much of a difference, does it? Went from solid seasons to two absolutely horrible ones.
Sean Burroughs: Hopefully a tough rookie year was an abberation.
Gary Carter not making the Hall of Fame: Come on, what does a guy have to do?!

I'll post more as I think of them - what's everyone's take on the season?
