Normally I wouldn't, but Miguel Cabrera is participating. I just hope it doesn't screw up his swing.

YAY! Cabrera is participating!
Of course, the old homerun derby curse will be in full force after the break......

Should be a great series...the Rangers will probably clinch the division during that series while also eliminating the Tigers from theirs.Originally posted by Sweetwater Red

How come Josh Hamilton hasn't participated since he had that awesome showing 2 years ago?

Why though? Maybe he doesn't want to have to match what he did two years ago.Originally posted by BaseballUmp

Most people that do well in the HR Derby, only participate once. They almost all say that they changed their natural swing to try to hit homers and very often that carried over into the 2nd half of the season. If you will remember, the 2nd half of 2008 was terrible for Josh...I am sure that he wants no part of that.Originally posted by bwdlionfan

just not enough outfield seating for the fans...keep seeing so many balls all the way from left center to right center that no one gets...
and quoted from j ham a few weeks ago, "I feel like, 'Why mess up a good thing?'" "I've got nothing to prove. It's fun. I would like to do it, but you've got to think about the whole season and the club."“I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal”
