Anyone know any good rookies or underdogs who will hit a crap-load of homeruns this year to put in my pool.

One guy to keep an eye out for is Ryan Braun a 3B for the Milwaukee Brewers. He may or may not make the team, but if he does heads up. Though you can take Spring Training with a grain of salt he's hit 3 dingers in 10 AB as of this post and hit well this winter as well. Right now he looks good to possibly being the opening day starter for the Crew.

Chris Duncan - St Louis, hit 22 last year in 90 games playing part time. Is the starter this year and may put up 40, but only plays against RHP - Chris B Young has pop - maybe 20, forgotten guy is Garrett Anderson -Angels, he is healthy for the first time in a couple of years, could provide 25. Jonny gomes is a late rounder that could go for 25.

Jermaine Dye was really over looked lajst year and hit 44 i would go with him but he is not a rookie. As a matter of fact there r a couple guys on the White Sox wo hit over 30 homers and really didnt get mentioned at all on ESPN thats cuz they r chicago and not Boston and New York. Like Crede Dye Konerko and Thome

Adam Laroche, he got traded from Atl to Pit and Pit has a short left field porch so look at him to hit 35 or more homers. He had 32hr and 90rbi last year. Also Adam Dunn, everyone knows him, but he won't go very quickly in a draft because he strikes out a lot but hits 40+ homers.
