pb1300 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I dont know if this was posted already, but Abreu was selected to represent Venezuela at the HR Derby, over Miggy. Im kind of dissapointed at that. I really want to see Miguel represent his country and the Marlins, and showcase his talents to the rest of the world. I think that MLB doesnt take advantage of the young talent the league has, they need to showcase the Willis', Cabreras, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Cabrera to left, and gone. (812 feet!) *Crowd screams* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marlin Man Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 cabrera should be the one, he definetly has more raw power than abreu atleast he can hit 500 foot bombs in homerun showdown on MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinGuru Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Don't worry. Cabrera will be in it next year. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ24 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Id rather Abreu hit in it. He is overmatched and will overswing, possibly injuring himself and guess what Cabrera would start the allstar game then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlummoxedLummox Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Having country representatives in the derby is just flat out absurd. In a better scenario, both could play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Juanky Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Abreu plays in the CIT. Cabrera plays at Dolphins Stadium. 842117[/snapback] Yeah, but if they dress up the guy throwing to him in a Marlin uniform he'll set Homer Derby records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
