00:00Red Sox projected home runs via Zips, which is a projection model.
00:05Oh, from Akron.
00:05Yeah.
00:06Akron Zips.
00:07I'm sure they factor in AirPol, among others.
00:10No doubt.
00:11But this is one projection model.
00:12Okay.
00:13The Red Sox have zero projected players to hit 20 home runs this year.
00:18Stop.
00:19Is it a lockout shortened season?
00:21Only team in baseball.
00:22How do they not get to 20 home runs?
00:24To have zero players projected for 20.
00:26You want the rundown via Zips?
00:27I think they will have two.
00:30Okay.
00:31Zips doesn't.
00:31You want to hear it?
00:32I know Zips doesn't.
00:33Yeah.
00:33What do they got?
00:34Abreu 18.
00:35Anthony 18.
00:36Story 18.
00:37So those are your leaders.
00:38Okay.
00:39Next up, Contreras 17.
00:41Oh.
00:42Duran somehow 17.
00:44Well, Duran, probably your DH.
00:45That's how.
00:46Rafaela 17.
00:48They got Casas for 14.
00:50Well, please.
00:50I'll take the under.
00:51Yeah.
00:52They got Christian Campbell for 11.
00:54I'll take the under.
00:55Durbin for 10.
00:56Great get, Craig.
00:57My guy.
00:58Nope.
00:59Narvaez 10.
01:00Adam Eaton 10.
01:01I'll take the under.
01:03Marcelo Meyer 9.
01:04And Yoshida 9.
01:06Last five years for Wilson Contreras.
01:09Home runs.
01:10So this is post-COVID.
01:1121, 22, 20, 15, and 20.
01:14And the year that he hit 15, he only played in 84 games.
01:16So you don't like Zips.
01:17No, I mean, they might be right.
01:19I mean, he hit 20 last year.
01:20So it's not like he smashed that number.
01:22I feel like I wouldn't even bet on him.
01:24Maybe he's a little bit lower.
01:26I feel like Williard, Abreu, and Roman Anthony are going to hit over 20 home runs.
01:31It might be 22.
01:33It might be 25.
01:33Yeah, we're not talking 30.
01:35No, no, no.
01:35That would be insane.
01:36Did any team last year have no 20 home run hitters?
01:40I'd have to look that up.
01:40Oh, I don't know.
01:41I can't imagine.
01:42So Gordo had some good numbers on this.
01:43Via the projection models, the only teams that have fewer than two, a.k.a.
01:48one, White Sox, Nationals, Cardinals, and you at zero.
01:51Those are the worst teams, yeah.
01:54The Dodgers have the most in baseball.
01:56The Dodgers.
01:57Dodgers.
01:57At eight.
01:59Two teams in the AL East, the Orioles and Yankees, are projected to have seven 20-plus home run hitters.
02:05Throw in the Jays for good measure with six-plus.
02:07So their whole lineup, basically, is 20 home runs, and you don't have anybody with 20 home runs?
02:12Awesome.
