I don't see any reason to waste time watching this. I couldn't care less about the AL East HR team. Just looking at those players, it is obvious that this new format is a complete failure.Looking forward to the HR Derby tonight.
AL: Ortiz, A Gonzalez, Bautista, Cano
NL: Fielder, Weeks, Holliday, Kemp
Lots of talk on ESPN last night about all the players that were voted in and are NOT going. I agree with Bobby Valentine that unless you are hurt, you should be there if the fans voted you in. Don't make up some lame excuse about "rest" when you've been well enough to play every day. You only have to play 3 innings.

True. But I still flipped the channel to it when it was on, just to see whats going on. Now I won't even touch it.The homerun derby has always sucked, it's not particularly suckier now.
I'm not sure how its a failure. A lot of guys don't want to be in the derby to start with. So getting top HR hitters is a task.I don't see any reason to waste time watching this.

Ortiz 7th in HR
Gonzalez 10th in HR
Bautista 1st in HR
Cano 14th in HR
Of the other top 15 HR hitters in the AL, 5 more (9 total) are in the AL East. So that was bound to be the majority of players anyways.
Fielder 2nd in HR
Kemp 3rd in HR
Weeks 9th in HR
Holliday 20th in HR
Holliday is the only outlier and he is a proven power guy.
I'd love to see more of a skills contest, but I don't know what they could do.

Fielder would be required to enter that contest.although I'm pretty sure Weeks would smoke that field in an inside-the-park HR derby.![]()
Forget that. Just show more celebrity softball games with Erin Andrews and Kate Upton in them.To steal from the NHL's -
Fastest around the base paths
Fastest pitch
Most accurate throw from the outfield on the fly or on one bounce (put a target at home plate)
Longest game of pepper
Most accurate bunter (6 pitches, 3 zones - straight down each line and the gap between pitcher and catcher)
Fielder would be required to enter that contest.![]()

I assume they booed prince because he didn't pick a diamondbackwhat's up with the fans booing EVERY GUY?
