interesting barry imo there are a few guys that could challenge for the triple crown...back to these two i think hamilton have a better shot because he's a better hitter, with better teammates, and plays his home games in a more hitter-friendly park. besides that tho the odds are stacked against them...hamilton is injury prone and plays in a division with the angels/mariners/a's where their home parks really suppress hrs. kemp still doesn't make enough contact to help himself in the ba dept (his babip is out of this world tho when he does make contact) and he also plays in a crappy division with lots of big parks.
kemp's chase last season was special...and altho he's off to a torrid start this year we'd be pretty happy out here if he can come close to what he did last year (not even thinking about topping it).
