For a franchise about to reach 40 years old, it is somewhat embarrassing that we've never had a player go deep 40 times in a season. Granted, the K is not a power hitters paradise but its also not the grand canyon. However, most every year the Royals do hit more homers on the road than they do at home. I thought maybe Bo Jackson would do it, but unfortunately he couldn't stay healthy before learning good plate discipline. I wouldn't be too surprised if Butler couldn't do it say 4-5 years into his career, he has the frame for it. I'd rather see him just trying to put a good swing on the ball like he's doing now rather than swinging for the fences. Gordon could also mature powerwise to someday contend for 35-40 HR power.
