The number has been set. If Schwarber hits 34 home runs this year then there is no reason to question if he lost any power from the injury. I think it's an interesting thing to watch and yet you think it is some grand victory that my question may end up with an outcome that you think would make me mad or upset. At this point, I would probably predict he hits over 34 home runs and I'm not going to be upset in the slightest about it. I have no reason to want to see a guy get derailed by injury unless his name is Jay Cutler.
30 home runs in a very home run friendly league. Good enough for 33rd in the league with a bunch of other guys.
I'm going to go ahead and say that not trading him for Chris Sale was the right choice.
