Oly has Jim Thome at 25-1 to have the most HR's this season......
Thome has the 4th highest HR per AB ratio in the history of MLB behind
Babe Ruth, Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds
Unlike the latter 2 there are no concerns about roids so no worries about no juice this season
He missed most of last season due to an elbow injury which seems to have healed nicely considering he hit 2 homers in 3 consecutive games during the last week!!
In 4 years prior to last season he averaged 47!
And this year we find him playing in homer friendly US Cellular hitting in front of Konerko
My only concern would the switch to DH. Sometimes the inactivity has a negative effect on a player at the plate
He will definitely be in contention. 25-1 is absurd considering the above info.
Pinny has him at 20-1 the last I looked and thats too high
