Hamilton

I think he's going to run away with this. The only reason I hesitated is because of his health questions.

Brou

if Hamilton leads this, then we have serious problems with our offense when a 2nd year CF is out homering everyone else on this team...

Should have traded for Kobe when they had the chance...

i was going to say something similar

this poll really shows how screwed we are if hamilton can't play a full season

Isn't that a known fact that we have a serious problem with our offense? We certainly have too many "if's" in our offense and while Hamilton is one of those "if's" I can definitely see him exceeding the 25 home runs that I have seen forecasted for him (I can't remember now which website that was on). It may be too optimistic, but I think we'll see him hit 35 home runs and I don't see anyone else coming close to that for us unless Blalock gives us a pleasant surprise.

It wasn't long ago that I thought Blalock would put up .350 averages yearly, and it would be nice to see a healthy Blalock back in the lineup to help this offense out.

Went with Blalock

Just don't think Hamilton will be healthy all year.

I see

That my vote for Nelson Cruz really tipped the scales his direction (Ha!)

Cruz - 37 HR
Hamilton - 28
Bradley - 26
Blalock - 25
Saltalamacchia - 22
Broussard - 22
Kinsler - 21
Young - 18

Bookmark it, and rip me a new one next September if it's way off.

Hey, I really hope that's the way it turns out...

But I doubt it will be. Cruz might not even make the team out of ST. And Milton Bradley isn't gonna hit 26 home runs - he's never hit more than 19 in a season. Try reversing him and Saltalamacchia, and you'll have a little more plausible scenario.
