Let's say the over/under on the number of Twins to hit 30+ homeruns is set at 3. What direction would you go? Any other surprise hitters that might make a run at it?

 

Last year:

Sano 28 in 114 games

Rosario 27 in 151 games

Dozier 34 in 152

Morrison 38 in 149 games

Kepler 19 in 147

Buxton 16 in 140

I will bet the under, hoping like heck I lose the bet.

 

I'll take the over on Dozier, Sano (unless he's suspended), and Morrison. 

Three sounds right. Rosario could pick up a few more, but LoMo hit over twice as many HRs last year than he ever had in the past, so he may have just had his career year.

 

If I had to pick one, I'd pick under. And, like Tomj14, be very pleased if I lose the bet.

If the league-wide trend from last year continues...everyone.

 

 

The only guy I take the over on is Dozier.

 

Sano would also be a gimme if not for all the injury and off-field issues.

Concur with Brock. Dozier IMO is a lock for 30+ HRs in his walk year.

 

Sano is a possibility depending on if he's suspended.

 

The others, I don't know. From what I'm reading the baseballs may not be as juiced this year as they were last year. So we may see a decrease in HRs throughout baseball.

You need to choose a .5 number...

 

But I will take the under.

I think Sano and Dozier are locks and then one of Morrison, Rosario or Buxton will get there. So i guess that's a push?

Under...although, I'd like to get a sample of this year's baseballs for testing before I put down my money.

2.5 it is

Under for all of them.  Unless we hear Sano gets a light suspension, then I'd bet on him.  

 

If it was 25 I might pick almost all of them.  I just think we'll have a nice group of 25ish homerun guys this year.

What odds will you give me if I take 1 1/2? 

 

Strange guess, but 6 1/2 over 20 HR, but only 1 with over 30 HR.

 If they all have good OBP I would be just fine if they were all in the 20-28 range.   I am going out on a limb and say Buxton leads the team.
