Twins Daily asked that question today about the Twins this season.
Last year's totals for this year's projected starters:
Suzuki: 3
Mauer: 4
Dozier: 23
Ploufee: 14
Sanatana: 7 (at short)
Arcia: 20
Hicks:1 (despite my greatest objections he might be the center fielder to start the season)
Hunter: 17
Vargas: 9
That's not much power. Dozier had a big letdown the second half. Hunter's older.
Vargas and Arcia have the best chance at 20 or more.
I've always said home runs are over-rated. Walks and runs scored are better statistics for teams like the Twins.
So, the answer is: Not many. Just like the last several years.
