He's hit 52 and 57 with Texas in 2001 and 02, and 48 a couple of years ago with the Yankees and has averaged 45 a year since he came into the league so it wouldn't be a big stretch for him to hit maybe 55, it wouldn't surprise me though as he seems he has something to prove this year.
A Brewers fan and hey, if you guys don't want him, we'll take him!!!

I'm not sure why people would dismiss the possibility, considering that not only is he still in his prime years, but that he had back-to-back 50+ seasons while playing for Texas. He also hit 48 as a Yankee in 2005, so it's not like playing in Yankee Stadium seems to affect his ability to jack the ball.
If A-Rod is able to deal with the pressure from the media and himself, there's no reason why he couldn't match those numbers again. I think 50 homers is a definite possibility.

Not as long as Yankee Stadium has that LF/CF "Death Valley." And you can't change fence distances during the season. Between DiMaggio in 1937 and A-Rod last year, the peak HR year for a righthanded Yankee was 1982, when Dave Winfield hit 37. Something in the 40s seems more accurate. Which won't mean a thing if he doesn't get the singles and walks we've been looking for in the last three Playoff seasons.

Well, he is currently on pace to hit 108, so 50 to 60 certainly seems like a feasible number. I can definitely see mid to high 40's, so 50 wouldn't be out of the question. He has the ability.

Yeah I do think he will, he has found his swing, and is finally feeling comfortable in New York. He is a great player, and it took him a few years but he has over came the press and all of that stuff. He will hit 50-60 homeruns, 130-150 RBIs, and a .315-.330 batting average, in other words MVP.

I don't think he'll go that high. But, I do see him getting 40 to 50. He'll hit a few rough spots as most do, and the rediculous Yankee fans will start booing him again. That will slow him down some.

50 is more of a possibility.

Ask again when he has at least 30. It's too early to ask.

I don't think so. He is hot right now but something will happen and he will over think things and screw himself up.
