The perfect team (right now) would be:

Ortiz - 11

Pujols - 15

Carlos Lee (who nobody has) - 11

Delgado - 11

Berkman - 10

Eric Chavez - 10

J. Gomes - 11

Shelton - 10

Swisher - 10

one of (Moises Alou, Jay Gibbons, Bill Hall, Craig Monroe) - 7

Thome - 10

 

for a total of 116 home runs.

 

I've got Pujols, Delgado, Gomes, Swisher and Thome, plus Dunn (10) and Giambi (9) were close to making the list. Huff (0) and Helton (1) are not doing much for my cause.

Did you guys know that he left his woman and son in Cuba to come to the major leagues and when later asked if he missed them, he said he didn't have a son.

[Derwood]

i'm sitting at 65 with Helton and Chipper'd DL stints and no love from beltre. Why don't I feel better?

Actually we have beat the Cardinals 4 times so far. One of the few highlights of the season.

Glad to see I have not gave up that position.

[TruffleShuffle]

Two bombs for Swisher today! He and Jonny Gomes are my two favorite players now :D I'm even developing a soft spot for Jason Giambi, just because he was a dark horse pick from Group C.

[Derwood]

in the meantime, I want Adrian Beltre to die in a fire. By the looks of his numbers, he may already have.
