Marlins2k3Champs Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I think he should have gotten invited. He could have had a shot. Maybe even Lowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Who would you take out of the field of sluggers that have been named to the team in place of Cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2k3Champs Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Well I wont take out Bons, Sosa, or Griffey for sure. So Id have to say Thome. Even though Thome should be there too. But thats who Id replace him with if I had to choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thome leads the league in HR's. No way you can take him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPosey Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 this year's all star break theme is the 500 homer club, and all 14 living members will be there. So in the derby, you have to have the three guys in the NL with 500 career homers, Bonds, Griffey, and Sosa. And then the fourth guy, Thome, leads the majors with homers, and will be there in a couple years as well (barring injury of course). They got the four best guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChoitotheWorld Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Cabrera should be in there instead of Bonds. Bonds thought he was too special last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchoftheday Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 this is stupid ... i dont think Cabs should be in home run derby ... he aint a power hitter in my book  the NL has some sick sluggers so leave it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get a chance. Just because Thome is leading the league in homers dont mean nothing. Cabrera could take out Thome, just as he could take out Sosa, Griffey or Bonds. Anything can happen yo. I just think they should have let Cabrera in instead of Thome. Its just like back in the days. When Griffey was a young one and he was in the derby.

Iowa Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Cabrera should be in there instead of Bonds. Bonds thought he was too special last year. 450284[/snapback] Yes a guy with 32 career homeruns vs. a guy with 681 career homeruns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thome leads the majors in homers but shouldnt be in the event? WTF?!! How do you find any logic in that statement. That is like saying Vince Carter doesnt belong in the slam dunk contest because Steve Kerr had a few wicked layups recently.  Come on dude, stop being such a homer.
