Someone with a LOT more time to examine this question has made a list of every SEASON in which switch hitter has had *30* or more home runs. The list includes Mickey Mantle (no surprise), Chipper Jones, Mark Texeaira, Lance Berkman, Todd Hundley, and Ken Caminiti.
I also checked for any switch-hitters who hit 40 or more homers since 2005, and found that Carlos Beltran did so in 2006.

There have been a number of major league players who batted cross-handed early in their career, but nearly all changed to the conventional grip before playing in the Major Leagues. Cross-handed hitting was more common in the late 1800s and there were more players that started hitting cross-handed then. Ezra Sutton, Frankie Frisch, Sherry Magee, and Christy Mathewson were all major league players from the early days of baseball who hit cross-handed early in their career. Ezra Sutton hit cross-handed for at-least part of his first major league season. Frankie Frisch was a switch hitter and there are baseball cards showing him hitting left-handed with a conventional grip and right-handed with a cross-handed grip. Latter players who hit cross-handed included baseball greats Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron. Mickey Mantle switched to a conventional grip while still young through (12 years old). Hank Aaron switched to a conventional grip during his first season in the minor leagues (1953) so he also never hit cross-handed in the Major League (first season with the Milwaukee Braves was 1954). In 1952, Hank led the Negro League with a batting average of .467 while hitting cross-handed though.
As of the 2014 season, the Boston Red Sox have 2 switch hitters.
A farm team, or feeder team, generally refers to a team or club whose role it is to provide experience and training for young players, with an agreement that any successful players will move on to a bigger side at a certain point. This system can be implemented in many ways, both formally and informally. The term is also used as a metaphor for any organization or activity that serves as a training ground for higher-level endeavors. For instance, sometimes business schools are referred to as "farm clubs" for the world of business. In the United States and Canada, Minor League Baseball teams operate under strict franchise contracts with their major-league teams. The vast majority are privately owned, and therefore can and often do switch affiliation, but players on their rosters are completely under the control of their affiliated Major League Baseball teams. Virtually all major-league players worked their way up through the minor leagues first, with the rare exceptions usually only being Japanese baseball players. Teams are usually in smaller cities, and players are paid much less. The existence of the minor league system is partly due to major league baseball's ability to include a reserve clause in the contracts with minor league baseball players, which gives a major league team exclusive rights to a player even after the contract has expired. This is possible in baseball because of a 1922 Supreme Court decision, Federal Baseball Club v. National League, which grants baseball a special immunity from antitrust laws.
