I said 80 but I think it'll be our lack of power again. We can't win in the AL without at least some power, I'm not sure what the historical data is but I'd bet teams that hit the fewest HR in the AL tend to not do very well in the standings. We really need Butler and Moose to combine for ~50 HR which they are more than capable of doing (they did in 2012) and for Hosmer to take that next step into the 20s. Alex has a lot more power than he's shown lately so hopefully he stays healthy and also gets to the 20 range.
