This really isn't all that crazy. Last year 2 guys hit 10 HR before May, Braun and Soriano. In 2010 Konerko hit 11. In 2008 Utley hit 11. In 2007 ARod hit 14. In 2006 8 guys hit 10+ including Albert with 14 and Shelton with 10. There are always 2 or 3 guys who run into a ton of bad pitches and have a big HR spike, when those guys are legit power hitters you expect 11-14 HR out of them. Chris Shelton. He had 9 homers in the first 13 games. He had 9 more the rest of his career. Amazing.
