wsox08 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How can they have someone like Hee-Seop Choi who has 13 home runs and Ivan Rodriguez with 5 homeruns in the derby? It seems ridiculous that people like Ensber, Ramirez, Pujols, ARod, and Konerko aren't in the derby just because of the "country" rule. Do you have to be in the all star game to be in the derby? I don't like the set-up this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I bet some players took a look at Comerica's dimensions and decided it would be best to sit out than run the risk of being embarrassed. Its total speculation on my part, but that's why I think the format has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put him in that situation he can probably do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsox08 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 ughhh home run derbys are usually boring, but this one will be worse..... well if you look at amount of at bats vs. HRs then Frank should be in, hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Usually I enjoy the derby, but I think being in Comerica will really cut into the numbers. The giant shots will still leave, but no one will be busting any records. I'm still leaning towards Teixeira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still leaning towards Teixeira. i liked it when they had it at fenway, the parks where they have at least one place thats an awkward spot to hit the ball out=good hr derby for ex: houston, cleveland, boston, giants, arizona, petco, angels, texas Edited July 9, 2005 by ChWRoCk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 They need to bring the allstar game back to the cell next year just so someone can hit a ball into the fundamentals thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
