For some it’s one of the most exciting contests of the All-Star experience, for others it’s just plain boring. Some of the league’s best sluggers are set to face off in the 2010 MLB Homerun Derby Monday.
There is a ridiculous amount of stuff going on today, so let’s not waste any time:
For a second there last night I thought I was going to look like a genius with the Nelson Cruz pick in the Home Run Derby. It wasn’t as exciting as it has been some years, but it was still an interesting way to spend a few hours. I was impressed with Fielder – I frankly didn’t think that a guy that massive would have the stamina required to win the marathon that the Derby is. I was also surprised by how little Pujols had to show for himself in the event. I thought he would rise more under the pressure for his hometown fans. I’m sure glad I didn’t get sucked into backing him.
I’m not a big fan of the all-star game, but I am a sucker for the spectacle of the Home Run Derby. I don’t think it’s a perfect event – it was a shame that Josh Hamilton did so well in the early round and wound up with nothing to show for it last year. Still, it’s always good for some drama and a few jaw-dropping moments. It’s also a chance to make some bets – always a good thing. Here’s a look at the field this year:
