I’m predicting about 30 home runs during the remainder of 2013 and 50 next year.

Subtle, but good. Bravo.
It'll be interesting to see how Kyle Gibson is in his first full season back from Tommy John.
Didn't he discover the three true outcomes of planetary motion?
The real problem here is that the biggest need - pitching - is the thing that is shortest supply. Gibson looked pretty good in the AFL, as good as you can look out there, but he is coming off surgery. Berrios is a long way away from contributing, and most of the other pitching prospects the Twins have are relievers. When your #1 starter at the major league level is Scott Diamond, you have pitching issues.
Kepler is from Germany. He's still pretty raw and hasn't played an inning in a full-season league yet, but took a big step forward at Elizabethton this year and then played CF for the Germans in the WBC qualifier (where everyone was about three steps behind the Canadians but Germany hung in there for six innings in their first game). He turns 20 this year and I expect he'll show up in Cedar Rapids to start the season. He's got a chance to be very good, jokes aside.
