    who will have the worst performance at the homerun derby?

    AL
    Cano-was embarrassed last year and hit 0(zero) homeruns. Expect him to bounce back and maybe even win this thing again.

    Chris Davis-Having a great season he probably has a good first round as well

    Fielder-Another veteran of this event that always does well.

    NL

    Wright-home field advantage but thats about it. If the event wasn't at Citi Field no way he makes the roster.

    Cuddyer- He had a very solid month with that 20+ straight hits. I have no clue how he will do here and his pretty much a mystery.

    Cargo- Guy is a stud if their is 1 name that can win it from the NL his it.

    Bryce Harper-great swing he should get out of the first round as well.

    NL lineup clearly the weaker one. So out of the 7 players named so far who has the worst first round?

    Bryce Harper has the least patience at the plate of those players.

    Cargo...been nursing injuries. Strained his back striking out a few games back. He won't be swinging all out.

    I say Cuddyer does the worst. The AL should sign Adam Dunn or Jose Bautista one of those 2 would win the contest easily.

    Cuddyer might do ok, but Alvarez, Domonic Brown, or Goldschmidt should be in the lineup. Hope Wright has the courtesy to give his boyfriend Mikey a reach-around after the derby.

    Cespedes named 4th member of the AL team. He is my darkhorse to have the worst first round. Guy will be done after a 4-5 big swings.

    I hate the lineups this year.

    A lot of the best guys didn't make it.

    Harper shouldn't be in. Cuddyer shouldn't be in.

    I think Cuddyer will be the biggest failure, but who knows...

    I would've liked to see Goldschmidt, Bruce, Alvarez, Votto, maybe even Puig over those two.

    Wright shouldn't be in it either but he was captain because he's a Met.

    Wright finished 2nd in the HR Derby in 2006, he'll do alright.

    Wright is no HR hitter he doesnt make it out of rd 1 unless 4 or 5 gets you there. I like Davis the ball is just jumping off his bat right now as a back up ill take Cespedes

    how confident are you that Wright will have trouble getting past 5? I would think because its his home field he will have extra motivation here and at least make it to round 2.

    Daivd Wright hits line drive doubles. He'll be lucky to hit 5 out.

    CHEER FOR WRIGHT IN THE HR DERBY
    TO SAVE ON THE NEXT METS HOMESTAND
    Root for Mets All-Star David Wright in the Chevrolet Home Run Derby this Monday at 8 p.m. on ESPN and score big savings when the Mets play the Phillies July 19-21 at Citi Field.

    The better David finishes, the greater percentage off tickets you'll receive:

    1st place = 80% off tickets
    2nd place = 70% off tickets
    3rd place = 60% off tickets
    4th place = 50% off tickets
    5th place = 40% off tickets
    6th place = 30% off tickets
    7th place = 20% off tickets
    8th place = 10% off tickets

    Goldie!

    There are few people that can create the type of sound he generates when he really gets into one.

    Dudes a monster.
