40 Homerun dark horse

[BeastMode27]

Pretty simple. Who has never hit 30 homers before, but you believe will hit 40 in 2017. Basically who will have the Brian Dozier season.

I have a few but am going Jonathan Schoop.

[rcgdodge]

Tommy Joseph of the Phillies.

One can hope!

[scottbdoug]

jose altuve :)

[Firerunner4]

Cutch is gonna hit 40, his career high is 31 so he doesn't qualify but still.

#MakeCutchgreatagain

[Firerunner4]

Also, Trevor Story...he would've done it last year if he stayed healthy

[Big]

Kyle Schwaber.

[EldoEsq]

Jake Lamb?

I almost mentioned his name, kid can mash

[BostonNut]

Some guy the Orioles have not signed yet.

[camden_yardage]

Trea turner.

[Doublexthebeast]

Trevor Story gets my vote for sure. I don't know what George Springers high has been so far but I think he is in a great ballpark to make a run at it.

[REGGIE206]

Kyle Schwaber.
He has my vote

[cj828282]

I will go with Carlos Correa.

[7nohitter]

Benintendi

[Jmort23]

Ryan Zimmerman or Anthony Rendon.....
Nationals will have (2) 40 HR guys....the other one being Bryce ��
Jeff

[Peties Army]

Jake Lamb?

I like this one. Good choice.

[gradedeflator]

Joc Pederson!!!

[Redsmitty03]

I'll go with George Springer.

[Scoat]

Javier Baez

[pitch21]

Miguel Sano

[Bonaflyd]

Gary sanchez

[LCM1223]

Tommy Joseph of the Phillies.

One can hope!

Could say Franco too

But don't think he's mature enough yet as a hitter. Maybe in a few years

[preakness]

Franco
Baez

[Cornerstore]

Bartolo Colon

[centereacan06]

Correa

[SDcardguy24]

Ryan Schimpf :flex::flex::flex:

[Ray27Ray52]

Eric Hosmer.

[quackhead]

Wil Myers

[brownbear299]

Ian Desmond

[bookyyyyyy]

Lucas Duda...dude's got power

[mjwoop]

I'm going with Correa and Springer both getting there.

[daeve]

Tommy Joseph or Gregory Polanco.

I think Gary Sanchez will do it too, but I don't think he qualifies as a darkhorse. He's a freak

[CharlieHustle]

Brandon Belt has never hit more than 18.
But with the absolute perfect set of circumstances, I think he could do 40.

[corockies]

Ian Desmond

This would be awesome. Arenado with 40+, Story with 40, Desmond with 40, Cargo with 30, and Blackmon with 25. Let's throw in another 20 from Tom Murphy.

[bubble]

Mike Moustakas. A long shot but he has a lot of power.. If he can stay healthy it's possible

[connor77977]

This would be awesome. Arenado with 40+, Story with 40, Desmond with 40, Cargo with 30, and Blackmon with 25. Let's throw in another 20 from Tom Murphy.

yeah if that group hits for those i expect cookie to hit 50, jbj to hit 40, hanley to hit 50, benintendi to hit 30 and Bogarts to hit 30 but lets be real here folks.

Arenado will definitely push 40, Story is kind of looking like a slump contender with that K%, but may get to 30 if he can cut those down, Desmond is a wild card, but id expect like 25-30 but he really shouldn't have been signed, not worth that high of a draft pick, Cargo sounds right about 30 if healthy and I guess we shall see on Murphy, pretty solid lineup just missing any glimpse of rotation but we shall see!

[connor77977]

Oh and my picks are Hanley Ramirez and Will Myers, but he going to have to hit a pant load on the road!

[theflushingmets]

How about Brad Miller? Dude hit 30 this year totally under the radar. I know you said 30 was the cutoff but he's my pick to come out of nowhere and hit 40.

[broadway6]

Piscotty

[dhendrix1303]

Arenado for most likely but not really a dark horse.

For the dark horse, I like Wil Myers

[fulltritty]

Tommy Joseph of the Phillies.

One can hope!

Yeah especially since I kept him in Fantasy Baseball.

[kordell1]

Nomar Mazara

[seabass97166]

Gary sanchez

This one looks like the winner to me

[linderaaron]

Steve Pearce. Heard it here first

[ark8085]

This one looks like the winner to me

I think he's expected to hit like 60+. I'll go with Alex Bregman.

[griffan15]

My 1st thought was Jake Lamb, but I like some of the other choices as well.

[CC_123]

Miguel Sano

I sure hope you're right

Yeah, plus David Dahl could easily get 15 homers. Deadly lineup with a ton of great athletes. Of course Coors helps but that is a good lineup even on the road.

There's a bad rumor circulating that Dahl could start the season at AAA with Gerardo Parra being healthy and the need to carry an extra pitcher to start the season since they only have 2 days off in April. Also no minor league options for Adames or Garneau (I don't think) so any extra roster space is gonna be thin in April. I hope that's it's not true, but as of right now Dahl is the #4 outfielder by seniority. He's shown he deserves to be the starting LF.

[pkscards]

Andrew Benintendi. He has put on 20+ pounds and looks jacked this offseason. Not sure if 40 is realistic but I could see a Mookie like power surge.

[redsoxfan1534]

David Ortiz

[ThaReal1]

Joc Pederson!!!

You read my mind! I think the Dodgers need to see what they have with this guy. Let him hit vs lefties... see if he will be in the outfield for years to come

[NickM]

Trevor Story.
He hit 16 HR in 46 games in Coors last year.
All he has to do is not get seriously injured.

[ThoseBackPages]

Jay Bruce

I'm not saying he won't get it, but keep in mind he got off to an incredible start last year. Like 7 of those came in the first few games. I highly doubt he has a stretch like that again next year but who knows.

[sheetskout]

Our park did it for Chris Carter, it could do it for Eric Thames...

Joey Votto hit 37 in 2010 but every other year has been below 30 I say he does it again this year. Other than him I say Schwarber also.

[duwal]

Kyle Schwarber. I guessed right last year when I picked Khris Davis

[fulltritty]

David Ortiz

Maybe with those tennis balls. :)!

[rednecksims]

Joey Gallo

[weirdquadguyfan]

Rougned Odor

[blaze]

Miguel Sano

Miguel Sano

[Links242]

Aaron Judge

As long as he doesn't get demoted back to the minors.

Which means he makes major adjustments and not striking out as much.

[cardinalsooner]

Grichuk !

[quackhead]

Hunter Renfroe

[JPinstripe]

Wil Myers

This would also be my pick.

[fulltritty]

Aaron Judge

As long as he doesn't get demoted back to the minors.

Which means he makes major adjustments and not striking out as much.

Or he could have 40 homeruns and 200 strikeouts and still have a job like a lot of homerun hitters. :)!

[joejoemay]

Tommy Joseph of the Phillies.

YES! :)! :D

[joejoemay]

Some guy the Orioles have not signed yet.

This comment rules :flex:

[joejoemay]

Wouldn't that be something?! Have to be hopeful as a Phillies Fan!

[joejoemay]

Tommy Joseph or Gregory Polanco.

I think Gary Sanchez will do it too, but I don't think he qualifies as a darkhorse. He's a freak

Yet another crazy awesome comment!

[Tom Oates]

Napoli of he does indeed wind up signing with Texas.

[BeastMode27]

A lot of good picks so far. I do think one of Correa or Springer hits 40 this year. Feel like last year was Altuve's year and this is Correa's for MVP type numbers.

Don't have any cards of Schoop but do watch highlight videos of players I think are underrated for fantasy purposes and his really stuck out to me.

https://youtu.be/59GzBN2MhfQ

While watching these vids another that really impressed as someone that will way outperform their current adp is Tim Anderson. Won't hit 40 homers, but has a chance to be in that group of great young SS and is very overlooked right now.

https://youtu.be/rfi0QXVsteI

Both these guys have low BB rate and higher K rate. A big reason you are getting a discount.

[callou2131]

The only way School would do it if is they moved him to #3 with trumbo 4 and Davis 5. I believe he does have the power, but he hits low in the lineup usually with a scrub behind him

[bankdawg]

i could see Rendon comign out of nowhere and hitting 40

[Wiseguy917]

Trea Turner

Look out for his 121/41/102/55/340 line ;)

[imbluestreak23]

Andrew Benintendi. He has put on 20+ pounds and looks jacked this offseason. Not sure if 40 is realistic but I could see a Mookie like power surge.

BUY BUY BUY!!

[bankdawg]

only 1 person chose Judge, with multiple Schwarbers, lol

it's so funny going back and reading these types of threads.

[bankdawg]

i agree, my rendon pick isnt looking too bad, but i doubt he gets there.

[dashcol]

Miguel Sano

This. Really turning into the player that the Twins drafted. I am excited to watch him develop, and also see just what he will turn into.

In all the talent that has come out this year, it is sad to me that he is being overlooked with his incredible talent.
