A bunch...

Schwarber
Conforto
Turner
Renfroe
Moran

All were first round position players in the past 2 drafts -- and I feel certain I'm missing a few -- and there are several more future first rounders playing this year...

Collins, Hump, Garner, Rooker, Swinarski, Ingram all have homerun potential. Cody Brown will probably hit a couple as well, and a couple of the incoming guys should be pretty decent power guys...

As of now, it's all just potential. People have to step up into the roles. In 2013, they did. This year, they didn't. That's the difference in the 2 teams...

Ok - That is my thinking as well - I didn't think we had an established power hitter in the lineup as of yet, but that doesn't mean one couldn't pop up.

Also, if Rea comes back with his head screwed on straight - he could easily put up 15-20 Hr's if he goes back to 2012 form.
