REPORT DATES: July 25th (Rookies), July 28th (Veterans)
SITE: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
CAMP OBJECTIVES: Apart from Randy Moss, the men Tom Brady will be throwing to
on Week 1 are unknown. Wes Welker is unlikely to be back from a serious knee
injury by then, so multiple members of a group including Julian Edelman, Torry
Holt, Brandon Tate, and third-round pick Taylor Price (Ohio) need to emerge.
At tight end, rookies Dan Gronkowski (2nd Round, Arizona) and Aaron Hernandez
(4th Round, Florida) will compete with veteran Alge Crumpler. Logan Mankins'
contract squabble is the biggest problem up front, and could open the door for
someone else to get some critical first-team reps at guard. Defensively, Bill
Belichick could use strong efforts from a couple of rookie linebackers -
Jermaine Cunningham on the outside and his former Florida teammate Brandon
Spikes on the inside. The Pats need a No. 2 corner to start opposite Leigh
Bodden, and Darius Butler and first-round draft pick Devin McCourty (Rutgers)
look like the top options there. The punting game will undergo a transition,
with rookie Zoltan Mesko (Michigan) taking over for Chris Hanson.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
