starfire · 07-12-10, 11:37 AM

I have no clue which bum to choose?

Kav · 07-12-10, 12:13 PM

biased jays fan here, taking vernon wells!

Pauulzcappin · 07-12-10, 12:24 PM

Took a stab on Corey Hart and Cabrera

Capn Morgan · 07-12-10, 12:26 PM

im thinkin either Cabrera or Ortiz will take it, but who knows

Muddy · 07-12-10, 12:32 PM

Lineup looks boring so I will put something small on Wells to make it interesting!

EaglesPhan36 · 07-12-10, 12:35 PM

Chris Young to Reach Round 2 +155

Doug · 07-12-10, 12:51 PM

Hamilton should be there.

HR Derby needs to go away for awhile, but never will because even with the poor field it will get good ratings. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to take part.

milwaukee mike · 07-12-10, 02:49 PM

why would the derby go away for a while?

i look forward to watching it more than the all-star game, i know there's a lot of others out there that feel the same way

Nismo · 07-12-10, 03:05 PM

I think I'll take a shot with Holliday. Whats the O/U of the most hit in a round?

Me too

They should change it up some so it would be easier on them.

Duby · 07-12-10, 03:22 PM

It will be lame this year but my small amount will be on Wells!

swisher might have the best swing for this, and he's a lefty which helps...

jose21_us · 07-12-10, 03:38 PM

Im going with El Nino here... He is sick watching him during practice... To bad hes played like shit this year...

If they really want to make the HR derby exciting again, they need to recreate the old HR Derby

1. Move it to the off season
2. top 8 or 16 reg season HR leaders are invited
3. Once every 2 weeks have a round
4. seeding is by reg season home runs 1vs 16 2 vs 15...etc single elimination
5. 9 inning game - 1 out per inning.
6. Same pitcher throws to both batters for 3 inn each.
7. winner gets sponsorship $$$ donated to their fave charity.
Derby gets its own 1/2 hr show on the MLB network or ESPN

The derby just isn't that exciting without the biggest names.. I have to agree with that

Wrigley · 07-13-10, 12:40 AM

Homerun derby has run its course I did not watch most of it

hothandsmgee · 07-13-10, 01:01 AM

Ortiz was pretty damn exciting

LOLOLOLOL, do you live in a box??? the comments in this thread are all so stupid.

HANLEY is only the best SS in baseball, jeter doesn't come close to his power, but does have a more consistent glove and Cabrera is only gonna win the triple crown this year, thus he blows too......

FISH BABY!!!!

FrozenMAN · 07-13-10, 01:18 AM

and wtf, someone else has the same picture lol

PlatinumBerg · 07-13-10, 01:25 AM

Im putting money down on Barry Bonds

Ramasenka · 07-13-10, 02:49 AM

I like Matt Holliday to win this

thirtytwo · 07-13-10, 03:27 AM

Corey Hart was an ultimate bum... Zero homers in round 2 lol

keyboarding · 07-13-10, 10:48 AM

Why did Wells make it over Bautista?

konck · 07-14-10, 09:55 AM

Sad day for baseball when big floppi wins

Betting Guru · 07-14-10, 09:58 AM

I don't even care to watch it. It's a joke!

MarlinsFan2212 · 07-14-10, 12:10 PM

HanRam was so close

ehp6737 · 07-14-10, 12:33 PM

this was the weakest derby field ever!

rob11234 · 07-14-10, 10:35 PM

Seriously, off of a team that includes Braun and Fielder, how is Hart in the Home Run Derby? And off of a team that includes Rodriguez and Texeira, how is Swisher in the Derby? The players who should be in it all bow out because they're afraid it will hurt their performance in the second half, either because it affects their swing or it induces fatigue. We might as well do away with the Derby all together. We can bring it back when they bring baseball back to the Olympics. We're looking at two symptoms of the same disease.
