Gorick Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ichiro :jester I'll say Teixiera..Ortiz is way powerful but i got a feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hee Seop is my pick... pretty easy swing. Big Papi puts so much torque in every swing i dont think he can keep itup for all those rounds. Remember when Garrett Anderson won it all? No one thought he would but he had such a free and easy swing and didn't really exert that much energy it seemed like.

Passion Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I agree...it's all about the swing that is why Griffey was so great in these things. Ortiz was just average last year even though he was robbed of two that hit the dome roof.... My heart is with Ichiro but my brain is with Bobby Abreu.

MarlinsFan253 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I pick... CANCEL! (Boo for politically correct homerun derby) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moneyball Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'll take Carlos Lee, I've seen the man in batting practice and he puts on a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'll take the Severna Park, Maryland native. :thumbup Anyways, why do the Dutch get someone in the Derby? There are only two people in this world I can't stand: People who don't respect other people's culture.....and the Dutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiambiNYY25Fan Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Where's Giambi?!?! I think it will be Teixeira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFish Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'll pick Choi. I don't think Big Papi has the stamina to last past the 2nd round Ivan and Ichiro could prove to be excellent competitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarHeel324 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 ive said it before, ill say it again: what a stupid format for the HR derby between those guys, ill take Tex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 I dont get what is so bad about the format. Sure, Tejada, the defending champion not being there is a dissapointment but MLB went after him and he declined to give Ortiz a chance. I like the idea of seeing a guy like Jason Bay get to compete in this game, he is having a good year on a team that doesnt get the pub. It'd be cool for him if he is able to go deep in the contest. Thye have the top home run hitter in the game (Jones), The no. 4 (Lee & Teixeira), The no. 5 (Ortiz), no. 8 (Abreu), no. 10 (Bay). I-Rod will probably pull out do to an injured finger and Ichiro is probably the player I most want to see in this thing. The format of the derby is the exact thing...except they represent their country instead of their league. Derrek Lee is hurt and Pudge and Tejada are omissions, but overall I like this field and think it will be a good as usual event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japa Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 \o/ Go Andruw \o/, our pride, even though he's from the antilles I think Abreu also has a good chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dubya Bush Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I will be supporting Mark Texeira this year. Two reasons: 1) He is from my favorite team. 2) He is from my favorite country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Ichiro Suzuki turned down an invitation to the Home Run Derby. ''I only have six home runs,'' Suzuki said. ''The players that enter the Home Run Derby have the good numbers to go in. I told them, 'If I had 20 homers I would enter.' I don't.''

PBMarlin Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I'm going with Choi. He should really be able to crank with fat balls being thrown to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Classy move by Ichiro. Perhaps Pudge could learn from him? :shifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
