Yup...Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, and aLeX gOnZaLez?!?!?!?

OK, OK, the guy has topped double-digit homers in 4 seasons and hit 23 in 2004, but I doubt many people saw 4 HR in his first 6 games coming. What's more expect? The fact that he has 4 HR and only 4 RBI. That's right--he's the only player he's batted in so far this season. At least's he scored 5 runs and has 5 other non-HR hits.

    Garrett Jones: 3 HR, 6 RBI. Yep, right on pace.

    I drafted Jason Heyward for my fantasy keeper league ... he's doing a pretty fair job already!

    Go Jays! 5-1 now and it's pretty much all due to the longball. They will definitely slow down sadly.
