HR Derby Participants....You Want

[westofyou]

It's a carnival and I don't care about it or if anyone is in it except a Red... I don't want a Red in the thing screwing up their game, fill it with Cardinals and Pirates, let them screw up their swings

I'm biased, but I definitely want to see Pedro Alvarez in the derby. I don't know of anyone in MLB with as much raw power as he has.

Stanton

Never understood why Dunn never partook. Sure, he strikes out a bunch but so what? The dude has PRODIGIOUS power that would surely please the populace.

Back when he was still with the Reds, Dunn said that he would never participate unless he was an All-Star. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to give up my 3-day mini-vacation to be part of a circus sideshow if I wasn't going to be on the team.

I think the screwing up your swing thing is overdone.....but it would scare me to have Bruce doing it and then rely on Brook and Dusty to get his swing back. It would take them 1500 AB or so.

You mean Dusty Baker former hitting coach?

I'm fairly convinced he's not the problem when it comes to guys hitting

Now that you mention that, I do recall him saying that. Thanks

what i don't want is chris berman's annoying 'back, back, back' call

I hope when the All Star game is in Cincy, the players i want to see in the HR derby are..


Josh Hamilton/Adam Dunn/Mike Trout/Chris Davis for the AL

For the NL? Jay Bruce/Stanton/Puig/Cano(I am sure the Dodgers will throw their never ending money tree at him).. That would be awesome.. Also I have always wanted MLB to bring back guys that are not in the game.. Like Griffey JR.. As a add on to the Al or NL (If its here in Cincy he has to wear Red)
