O the question of whether this version of LoMo can hit 25 homers...nada. On the other hand, Raul when he was young wasn't the 30 HR guy he turned into. He, too, was more of a line drive hitter early in his career:
In the minors, Ibanez hit twice as many doubles as homers, and only occasionally ticked 20 dingers, and in those cases...only just. The Raul we all remember in Seattle hit only about 40% more doubles than homers - he learned to cripple mistake pitches and it happened rather suddenly...at age 29.
