AL - I think Manny could see more strikes with Ortiz batting 4th this year, which could put him over 40 again. i'd go 44 +/- 2.

good call on Dunn. if he can keep his K's down, i wouldn't be surprised to see him hit over 46 in the NL.

Dunn and Vlad both knock 50+ (easy) and Dunn notches 200 Strikeouts

Sosa and Barry (if healthy) top 50.

Pujols and Ramirez in mid 40s.

Chipper is lucky to hit 36, but hits .315 and knocks in 110.

And that's NEVER a good indicator of how a player feels, how he's dedicated to the year/the team, etc..

I wouldn't count out revenge/prooving folk wrong as a motivator for any of these muh'fuckas

I think Chipper will have a big comeback year but I like Andruw for 40 ahead of him.

I think we could also see a big home run year from Mark Texiera (SP?) but he'll finish behind Tejada in the AL.

Vlad - 46
T. Helton - 42

I also predict Coach D. Strawberry will be booted from his team for violating the league's substance policy, then reinstated for the post-season on grounds of good behavior. He will also bag more crackhoes than any other MLB player, coach, or player-coach. Say it ain't so, Otis Nixon.

After John Kruk, perhaps the scariest looking ball player I can think of. He could run like the wind though... guess I could too with enough rocket fuel in me.
