Who Will Be Leading in Home Runs in NL/AL by All Star Break?

AL- Josh Hamilton. I think Hamilton is determined to put together a monster 2012 campaign in a contract year. His Rangers are arguably the best team in baseball, and there is really no way to pitch around anyone in that lineup with how balanced they are. 

NL- Jay Bruce. I know he is off to a slow start, but I feel confident that Bruce will start to show off some of what made him a sleeper MVP candidate sooner rather than later.

Austin Mayland

AL -- Josh Hamilton.  Watching him is bringing me back to the 2008 All Star game when he cranked 28 homers.  
NL -- Matt Kemp.  Is anyone questioning this?

Mini Buddah- Fantasy Guru

AL leader - Jose Bautista has only got 2 so far, but it's been 12 games and his power is legit .
NL leader - Oman Infante....JUST KIDDING. Matt Kemp appears to have picked up where he left off last year.

Justin Millar

AL: Im going to go with Carlos Pena, as he has hit 3 already. I also think he has a possible 35+ home runs season left in him. Over the past 5 seasons, Pena has hit 172 home runs, including 46 in 2007 and 39 in 2009.

NL: With the way he is playing right now, Matt Kemp. Kemp has 6 homers already and is on pace for 97 dingers.

NL- Matt Kemp. I mean, there's no question that this guy is the best baseball player in the National League with a combination of power and hitting for average.

AL- Josh Hamilton. I have to go with the odds on favorite here but watch out for Mike Napoli. After having a huge postseason last year, he could surprise people. Plus his home run numbers continue to climb, year after year.

Really taking a risk with Hamilton
