Man, I wish Vlade was given the chance to be apart of the HR derby, so we can give him the ovation he deserves!

I am voting for Red Sox. Mess their swings up

Assuming that crap is even true

On a serious note I would love to see Ichiro
It seems to me that the winner of the HRD always has had a F-ed up swing for a month after.
Wait, these HR Derby votes don't count do they?

I thought that was always by invite.

Well it says "Fan Poll" so it may just be to get an idea of what players should be considered, not sure though
I hope so

Ichiro in the HR Derby? Gimme a break.

I thought the same thing when I got a ballot at the stadium
They always say

He can hit em if he wants

That's what my roommate's "house guest" says about carving on a snowboard and riding a bike

“I know how to do that, I just don’t want to.”

Yes, I've seen him play home run derby during batting practice many times!
I'm writing in Willits for HR derby

Who’s with me?

Hey he would at least have a shot at getting a HR there
True

We need a Spud Webb in this derby IMO

I think you need to be able to hit them in Batting Practice

before they allow you in the derby

He's hit them out in batting practice before
Reggie Willits vs. Jamie Moyer in the finals

…an instant classic

Seriously, this is the best the AL can offer??

Aaron Hill, Kevin Youkissmyass, Grady Sizemore, I mean come on. They’ve gotta be able to do better than that.

Ichiro and his batting stance at the Home Run Derby would be priceless to watch.

Then Prince Fielder for the NL just for maximum contrast.

I just hope eckstein doesn't stand too close to prince fielder at the game or he might get absorbed by him
Prince Fielder, insorb

Is that the Trapper Keeper?
Yup

I figure it and Prince Fielder have a lot in common, given Rex’s comment and the fact that they can both be described as “bulbous monstrosities”.

I love Hunter.... But

Didn’t K-Mo have more HR’s? I would rather see the “Cuban Missile” in the Derby.
