Random Debut:
Things are slower in the random debut universe with Jason Thompson leading the league with 26 home runs.
Oyster Burns was added to the watch list after hitting the 300th home run of his career, but at 32 years old still has a long way to go. Burns did hit 65 home runs in real life during the 1800's.
