Cobb Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 With a new era in baseball unfolding, in favor of pitching, do you think there will ever be another legitimate 60+ HR hitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Silly to believe there never will be another one, especially with the age of the tiny ball parks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crabbylion Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Why not? Everything in sports changes, and trends always sway. The pitchers will take the back seat after a while, just like they did transitioning from the 1980's to the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 There absolutely will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren2ThaG Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Depends if Fielder eats meat or not. Being a vegetarian makes you weak... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 With a new era in baseball unfolding, in favor of pitching, do you think there will ever be another legitimate 60+ HR hitter?Depending on what you mean by legitimate... the answer could change.  But I think there will be a 60 home run hitter as early as maybe next season. Too many good hitters, small ballparks, and someone's always going to have a breakout season. See Miguel Bautista. If he can hit 40 while hitting .230 or whatever he's at, with absolutely nothing pointing to him being a slugger in the past, there's no reason to think that we'll never see another one. Who cares if this is the year of the pitcher. It's not an era of [expletive]ty hitters, and let's say for the next 15 years while these guys cycle out it's all pitching. That still leaves us what, somewhere in the region of 50+ years before we can say we haven't seen that in our lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliCurbStomppa Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 There will be one. It might not be for a long time but somebody going to be on fire and will just keep hitting balls out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
