Bryant

Rizzo

Schwarbs

Contreras

Baez

Russell

 

It's going to be a heck of a fun offense.

4. Bryant/Rizzo/Schwarber, then one of Baez/Contreras/Russell/Happ depending on playing time/improvement/remaining on the team.

I voted 4 and this was my thinking/logic as well. Bryant/Rizzo/Schwarber are my locks then one of those other guys get there. I feel pretty confident saying we should have 7, 20-25+ HR guys with all of the guys listed above.

Heyward will hit 30 HRs

 

....by the end of his contract

 

 

 

Maybe

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Bryant

Rizzo

Contreras

Happ

Schwarber

Machado

Bryant, Rizzo, and Schwarber. Happ and Baez will hit at a 30 HR/650 PA pace but not get enough playing time to get there. Willson will be in the 20s but will be selling out for power a bit less with the amount of time he spends leading off.

^^^ That.

 

Going forward, just assume that whatever baseball-related thing TT says is also my opinion. You're all welcome for the coming brilliance.

Rizzo and Schwarber, with lots of guys flirting with 30 but not quite getting there

Im not rooting against Bryant (I hope he hits 60) but I’m just making a prediction

Rizzo, KB, Willy, Schwarbs.

 

I actually voted 3 so the poll is now wrong.

Rizzo, KB, Schwarber. And I accidentally voted 4, so we’re square.

Yup, exact same logic. I think Bryant, Rizzo and Schwarber are locks as long as they remain healthy. I think one of Baez or Happ get there. Russell always misses some time with some nagging injury. Contreras might get there if he gets enough playing time, but he takes a beating behind the plate and might need to go on the DL occasionally to recover/be ready for the postseason.

4 players would tie the record. (Middle of page)

Are se sure they are going to hit 30 HR's as a team?
