i think there could be more depending on park hr ratings. konerko, hamilton/ortiz, both had 32 hrs and 518 abs(how weird is that). also tex, arod, pena.

According to the ratings book, Ortiz has a killer card vs RHP in 2010 (!). He has 10.4 die roll chances for homeruns PLUS the 8 ballpark homerun chances. He has nice doubles, a few singles, ballpark singles and tons of walks vs RHP.

His card vs LHP is anemic (nice doubles, some singles, ballpark singles, N Power but not many homerun chances at all, not much else). But with a card vs RHP like that, you might play him every day just so that he is already in the game when a RHP reliever enters for the opposition!

With a card like that vs RHP, in a homerun park, if you play him every day to maximize his plate appearances, 40 homeruns should be very doable. 50 is very possible, especially in a big homerun park.

By the way, according to the fielding ratings (already released), Ortiz' fielding improved somewhat in 2010 (compared to his disastrous 2009 fielding ratings). With his 2010 fielding ratings, you COULD play him at 1b, if that fits with your managing style and preferences.
