Burleson.
Mostly because I think he will get more ABs.

Re: Poll onMLB : Who will be our HR leader ?
My guesses are 1. Wetherholt 2. Herrera if he can stay healthy 3. Burleson - but would be nice if either Gorman or Walker clicks and challenges him
Re: Poll onMLB : Who will be our HR leader ?
Seems less relevant than which if any will hit more than 25.
A question of abilities.
All 3 exceed 20
Gorman exceeds 25.
It's spring.

It depends on who remains healthy. I would go with Herrera edging out Gorman.

Re: Poll onMLB : Who will be our HR leader ?
As others have noted, it will depend a lot on health, and the number of At bats each player gets.
With at bats being equal, let’s just say, 500 AB’s, I think Gorman will lead the team. 2nd place will be a heated contest between Herrera, and Burleson. All three will hit over 20. Next will come JJ at around 20. Those with around 15 will be Winn, Nootbaar, and Walker.
I don’t think anyone else will receive enough at bats to reach that level, although I think Crooks could come close with enough playing time.

I dont know how many, but Gorman will lead the team.
Now im going to try and wade in the deep end of the pool. A nice surprise will be Valaquez who will hit 15+. The longer Noot is out, the better his chances. I know, I may be delusional, but at least it won't be my first time!

Re: Poll onMLB : Who will be our HR leader ?
Not:
Gorman - will be replaced as 3B by June 15th. Either moved to DH (crowded) or attempted to trade.
Burleson - MLB team pitching strategist will have him figured out.
Could be:
Herrera - only because of return from surgery and if he stays relatively injury free. Also depends on his catching situation - lead catcher - then no. IF he becomes every day DH then he is top pick.
WAG:
1. JJ
2. LF - Church/Velasques (SP?)/Davis
