I don’t expect Carlos Pena to win MVP, despite his 2007 and start to 2008, but he may well post similar home run totals.
Other current leaders are likewise expected to post more terrestrial numbers soon, i.e. Dice K, Justin Upton, and Jason
Isringhausen. Look to week 3 to further separate fact from fiction in this quest to crown the next class of FBA winners..
