bonds will hit 30+ on his own...he'll break aaron's record (and everyone's hearts)

as a team, i dont see them hitting more than last year

He'd have to hit well over 30 HR's to break Aaron's record next season (47 to be exact) - possible, but not too likely. He is another year older (41), and missed most of a full season, although he looked pretty good last year in those few games he did play in (5 HR's in 14 games). So I don't think he'll break the record this year, but probably in '07 if he stays (which he probably will).

As for the team, 180 or so HR's sounds possible and probable, with Bonds back (I'll conservatively say 35), and Winn looks like he has gained some power - maybe up to 25 HR's there Feliz should get around 25 as well, so that is 85 HR's there, so the rest of the team only needs another 95 HR's to reach 180. Throw Attheny, Alou, Niekro for 15 apiece, and you only need 50 left. Which I'm sure the rest of the team can handle.

I say 165 HRs for the 2006 Giants.
