I don't think they'll hit 40 either. All I said was it's not the unattainable feat that you're making it out to be. You're basically expecting Katz to hit just a little over half the HRs he did last year, JaCoby not to improve much at all, and Bregman and Ross to not do much. You used last year's homerun totals to predict what will happen this year between them collectively, but don't use last year's total to predict what you think Katz will do. 40 obviously would be impressive, but you seem to think Katz is going to regress, Jones won't improve his numbers much, Ross hits about the same (wouldn't surprise me), and Bregman will contribute very little. For as much as you think people are being too optimistic, you're being equally pessimistic for whatever reason.

It isn't far fetched but I would be surprised if they reached 40. It really depends on if Jones remains as patient as he has shown so far. He has the potential for 12-14. I think Katz had a career year last season and is more likely to hit 6-8 than 10+. Same for Bregman, I don't think he is the HR hitter that everyone is expecting or hoping for, but he will be a solid producer.
