AL HR Hitters

Want to know why your AL-Only league isn't going the way you thought it would? Take a look at the HR leaders and ask yourself if this is what you thought would happen almost a quarter of the way through the season.

1. Carlos Quentin 9
2. Kevin Youkilis 8
Mike Napoli 8
Josh Hamilton 8
Manny Ramirez 8
Carlos Pena 8

The last two are not surprising and Josh hamilton could have be predicted to hit 8 HRs by this point, but Quentin, Youkilis and Napoli? No.

What is more telling is the total that leads the AL - 9. In the NL, five players have more than 9 and six players have 9.
