I'll go with Rizzo as the Cubs make it back to the NL pennant.

Agree about the Cubs, but I can see Goldschmit going off for 50 HR's.

I call your attention to Davey Johnson in 1973. Having never before hit more than 18 HR's in a season he whacked 43 that year. So, past performances means nothing in prognosticating future performances. |

I love Goldschmidt, but I'm not sure I'd expect him to hit 50 simply because other players have, out of nowhere, had power explosions. |

I think Mr. Arenado will put up some ridiculous numbers this year.

Looks like Goldschmidt has a great shot so kudos to those who picked him (although he'll be well short of 50 dingers).

3 people picked Stanton in the original poll. Take a bow, soothsayers.
