Home Run Leaders for 2006?

Home Run Leaders for 2006?
Any predictions for the best home run hitters in 2006? I'll go with two foreigners: I'll take Julio Zuleta in the Pacific League, and Lee Seung Yeop in the Central League. He looked awfully comfortable in Tokyo Dome during the WBC, and his stats dramatically improved last year.

Any other guesses?

I'm going to pick some real dark horses here. In the Pacific League, I'm going with Takeya Nakamura. In the Central League, I'll pick Kenta Kurihara to get the most home runs. I know. I'm insane. I'm pulling for the younger guys to put their marks on the game this year, though.

I'll go with what I know in the PL: Matsunaka will be at his top-notch best once again, not only being the home run leader, but also challenging for his second triple crown.

The Central League: I have to like Kanemoto's chances, provided that he doesn't somehow age dramatically.

I'm going to have to go with Nobuhiko Matsunaka and Tomoaki Kanemoto.

I picked Ogasawara in the PL last year and I'll pick him again!

In the CL, I dunno... I'll go with Iwamura.

I will go with Matsunaka in the PL. I know everyone will think I am crazy but I will go with Tamura for the CL. I know, I know, he has to stay healthy. Just remember how he hit in Petco during the WBC.

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
