June 21, 200818 yr I say no. I've always hated the Home Run Derby. WTF does it have to do with baseball? I think it detracts from the game. It's more entertaining than the actual all-star game.
June 21, 200818 yr The HR derby is BP... players take BP every day, and i know for a fact a lot of teams have their own little HR derbys during BP quite often... slumps are slumps, they don't happen because of HR derbys. Good point it is batting practice nd uggla basically has a homerun derby hitting upper deckers in bp so y not as long as he dosent tire himself out hitting like 50 a round

BP before a game is to loosen up a bit and work on things. Like hitting to the opposite field. You will see some guys open it up towards the end of their turns. Or will sometimes "accidentally" get hold of one. Our BP at home takes place before they open the gates.
