I was gone for a two week stay in the hospital. I come back and find that the PHRs have come way down. No player is on track to 50 homers this year, even 45 homers may not happen. The one bright spot is Mark Trumbo of my home town team the Angles is on a toroid pace and may soon take over the top spot.

HOME RUN STANDINGS AS OF 06-20-2012

Don't look now but sizzlin hot J. Bautista of Torronto has about taken over the leader board.  This Three-Pete hopeful is only two off the MLB lead for the home run title. He has won it the last two years and was my pre-season favorit to win the HR title in 2012.  If he wins this year that would be three years a U.S. team has NOT won the HR title.

                                                                                   JOSH HAMILTON  21 HOME RUNS

PHR STANDINGS AS OF MAY 30, 2012

Early front runner Mat Kemp (12) dropped 7 homers off the leader when placed on the 15 day DL.  He is now back in a line up, well see if he can get back into the H.R. title race.  A. Pujols (8) and J. Bautista (12) and A. Dunn (16) have had a very hot May.  B. Eldred (20) is only MiLB player on track to hit 60 homers. He has already played a few games in the show this year.  If they bring him up to stay he may not get the H.R. title this year, this is always a problem when doing well in the minors.

Only players with 15 or more home runs and a PHR of 50 or more are listed.
