Every year players get hit more and more homeruns. Fans come to the ballpark to see the long park, it's no secret. So far in the first two weeks of the season Detroit's Chris Shelton is helping to charge his team's offense. He's already hit 6 homeruns and is not a likely power hitter. No one can predict which players will come out of no where and hit 30 or more homers in a season.
Detroit isn't got an all-star lineup, but they do have a decent mix of players with the likes of Ivan Rodriguez, Dimtri Young, Brandon Inge, and Jeremy Bonderman. They're still growing as a franchise and won't dominate anyone in the American League. Players like Shelton can a sweet catch for a team who has struggled to get to .500 in the last 5 years. This year when guys getting stronger and having better bat speed they could be 3 times as many homeruns hit compared to last season. Who knows what players will turn out to the most pleasant surprise in 2006.
