If I were to have asked you prior to the start of the season, who would lead the majors in home runs on July 26, you probably would have said, "Harper, Stanton, or Bautista." Hey, all of those are fair names. In fact, Encarnacion, Frazier, or Arenado would have made great choices as well. But, would any of you picked Mark Trumbo? Highly unlikely. It appears as though Trumbo is the new Nelson Cruz. After struggling in back-to-back season, Trumbo is well on his way to 40-plus homers, which would be a career high. Baltimore is a perfect spot for Trumbo and he's making the most of his tenure in Charm City. On Tuesday night, the Orioles welcome Chad "Don't Call Me Jerome" Bettis and the Rockies to Camden Yards in what will likely be an all-out slugfest. The funny thing is that the Orioles are drastically underpriced. Only $4,100 for Trumbo? Um, what? This guy is leading the majors in home runs for God's sake! Though his ownership will likely be high, it'll be tough to fade Trumbo is cash games. Play him and love him when he goes deep twice or play him and get moderately annoyed when he goes 0-for-4 with three Ks and a flyout with the bases loaded--hopefully he's 50 percent owned!
