WHO’S MISSING
There are currently 11 players in the league with 20 or more home runs. Nine of them - Jose Bautista, Josh Hamilton, Joey Votto, Adam Dunn, Albert Pujols, Vladimir Guerrero, Paul Konerko, Mark Reynolds, and Prince Fielder - either declined to participate, or were not invited. Which is how we wound up with Hanley Ramirez, who currently has fewer home runs than Shane Victorino. Meaningful competition!
ODDS & FAVORITES
Coming straight from some place called Sports Interaction:
- David Ortiz and Miguel Cabrera are tied as favorites to win, at +250, which is a gambling term that means something
- Hanley Ramirez faces the longest odds, at +1000Nick Swisher is the current favorite to hit the fewest dingers in the first round, at +350
- Ortiz and Cabrera are also favorites for the longest home run in the first round, and the most first round homers overall
