RicanBull Posted July 14, 2008 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 760 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 02/07/2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Let me guess, Longoria wins this poll.On a side note, is anyone else as pissed as me that A-rod continually refuses to be in the HR Derby. Not only does it piss me off as a yankee fan to not see a yankee participating especially since its at Yankee Stadium, but A-rod is the best HR hitter right now and will more than likely eventually end up with the all-time HR crown. Why doesn't he want to be in this? Dont give me the "it messes up my swing" excuse. Its just like batting practice. I just wish he had the mentality to say "I'm gonna go win this thing". I guess thats why he struggles under pressure (rant over)Anyway, go vote lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longoria will win the poll, for obvious reasons... but I would be very surprised to see him win this contest.Its going to be one of 1) Hamilton, 2) Berkman, 3)Braun and that is my prediction for the order of finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longoria will hit 1-3 HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the perfect swing for a HR derby in Yankee stadium. He is a lefty with a nice and easy stroke. part of the problem for the big power hitters in the HR derby is they get tired out cause they take such big swings. Utley is quick and compact with minimal effort. thats who my money is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
