amirez will combine for over 50 home runs and over 200 RBI's
After a season of power drought, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramriez will combine for over 50 home runs and over 200 RBI's. After Lee just hit 22 home runs last season, he will find his stroke again like he did during the 2005 season where he hit 46 home runs. You have to give Lee the benefit of the doubt. He was returning from a serious wrist injury that sidelined him for most of the 2006 season. His wrist was not fully recovered last year which resulted in the decline of home runs. Ramirez lead the team with 26 home runs and lead the team with 106 RBI's. It was a power drought for Ramirez also in a career where he has averaged at least 35 home runs. Through out the whole season last year, Ramirez was battling injuries with his hamstring and his knee. You see, if you can not turn on a ball, it makes it very difficult for someone to hit a home run. With Lee and Ramirez being in excellent health this season, they will combine for over 50 home runs and over 200 RBI's. The reason they will combine to get over 200 RBI's is because they will have more chances to drive runners in with Soriano, Theriot, and Fukudome batting in front of them. Lee and Ramirez final stats will be: Lee will bat .320 with 45 home runs and drive in 120. Ramirez will bat .310 with 51 home runs and drive in 156.
