Is Prince Fielder this year's Ryan Howard?

Ryan Howard was the home run king last year. Is Prince Fielder on track to take over that crown this year? Here's a look at Ryan's splits for last year, and where Prince is this year:

Ryan Howard in 2006

• April HRs - 5
• May HRs - 13
• June HRs - 9
• July HRs - 8
• August HRs - 14
• September HRs - 9

Prince Fielder in 2007

• April HRs - 6
• May HRs - 12

Both Ryan and Prince led the league in home runs in the month of May in 2006 and 2007 respectively. Ryan wound up with 58 dingers last year. How many will Prince have before the season is over? Right now, he's on pace to come real close to Ryan Howard's number for dingers in 2006.

Top Home Run Hitters in May (so far)

Which two guys would you guess have hit the most homers in May, both with eight, so far? A-Rod and Barry Bonds? David Wright and Garry Sheffield? Try Jack Cust and J.J. Hardy. WHO? J.J. Hardy was probably on your radar as a fantasy baseball league participant before your draft this year. Chances are, Jack Cust wasn't. Jack Cust who is playing with his fifth major league team since 2001, has been unbelievable at the plate in May. He agreed to a deal with the A's when Mike Piazza went down and has been proving his mettle ever since. How long this offensive onslaught will last, only time will tell.
