Apparently Scott Rolen really enjoys being in Cincinnati, as he hit his 12th and 13th homeruns yesterday en route to a Reds' victory. For the season, Rolen is now hitting .290 with 13 home runs and 36 runs batted in. I'm not completely convinced that he can't keep this up. His home run per fly ball rate is much higher than his historic rate, so his homerun total should not keep up at this pace, but I think he could end up with between 25 and 30 homeruns, and nearly 100 rbi at the end of the season to go with that batting average.
