100 Career Home Runs

A little strange: KC Royals Jose Mota and Artie Rizzo each hit their 100th homerun today, in the same inning of the same game. Here is the GAP 100 HR Club, and those closing in:

145 - Wally Hunter (Cha) 29/LF (510)
130 - LaTroy Franco (Cle) 31/LF (432)
127 - C.C. Hutton (Oak) 28/1B (494)
126 - Dario Selby (Cle) 31/3B (406)
120 - Carlos Campos (Mil) 28/C (413)
118 - Jimmie Iglesias (Mil) 30/1B (496)
116 - Charlie Wirth (Ana) 24/C (566)
115 - Max Jiminez (Tex) 21/C (686)
110 - Chris Baker (Pit) 33/2B (280)
110 - Ivan Bechler (SF) 32/1B (372)
108 - Edwin Casey (CWS) 28/1B (469)
107 - Allan Hamilton (Oak) 31/2B (364)
103 - Trevor Valdez (Tor) 30/LF (392)
102 - Douglas Diaz (Cin) 28/CF (422)
100 - Jose Mota (KC) 24/DH (597)
100 - Artie Rizzo (KC) 33/1B (288)
99 - Ricky McIntyre (NYY) 29/3B (398)
99 - Jose Bocachica (Tor) 26/DH (418)
98 - Harry Fox (Hou) 28/3B (402)
98 - Oscar Nunnally (Oak) 29/C (319)
96 - Joe Warden (Det) 28/LF (452)
96 - Victor Parra (ChC) 26/3B (443)
94 - Clyde Valentin (Oak) 31/RF (296)
94 - Pedro Segui (Phi) 33/2B (282)
92 - Tori Valentin (Was) 27/3B (355)
90 - Yannick Reboulet (Tex) 28/LF (372)
90 - Victor Nieves (Tor) 29/3B (358)

Current team, age, position, and the last number in parentheses is a projected total using Bill James' Favorite Toy. It factors in age and last three seasons to project a career total. Since we only have 2.4 years in, I had to project an S3 total using stats-to-date, then plug in the numbers.
Let me know if I missed anybody. Guys who have split their 100+ among multiple teams probably got missed by me.
