Whoops. I didn't know you were posting this. I'll delete my FanPost thread.

My pick:

I’ll take all 4 NL guys before a single AL guy in this year’s Derby; and specifically, Pujols.

And I think it’s kinda sad to see Mauer up there, since he’s hitting .380 and the Derby always “ruins” swings.

the Derby always "ruins" swings.

If that’s true, then I really hope Albert wins.

You can be sad for Mauer

I’ll just hope it ruins the swing of Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard.

for information only

Adrian Gonzalez (SD) 11/2
Albert Pujols (STL) 9/5
Brandon Inge (DET) 11/1
Carlos Pena (TB) 13/2
Joe Mauer (MIN) 27/4
Nelson Cruz (TEX) 33/4
Prince Fielder (MIL) 21/4
Ryan Howard (PHI) 11/4

I like Prince here.

Heath Bell is awesome.

The announcer asked him about replacing Trevor Hoffman and how he’s been able to do it. Bell’s response: “well, I’m kind of a big deal!”

If I were to take 2

I’d take Pena and Cruz.

is each “back” counted or each time he goes “back, back, back, back”?

I think the HR Derby would be much more entertaining

if it was on TBS, and Chip Caray got to call the shots.

I didn’t much care for Chip Caray, but his home run calls were always exciting to me. His tag line was kind of hokey, but that guy sold a home run like it was the most magnificent thing he had ever seen.

Sure you do!

“SWUNG ON, BELTED, DEEP LEFT FIELD…”

I could always imagine him leaping up out of his seat with the call. The sad part is that home runs don’t really take that long at all, and then he has to go back to his favorite activity—filling three hours of airtime with a barrage of factual errors and sloppy homerism.

Love that call...

It was normally a “swung on, BELted” but I remember one time he was really into it and, while this is tough to describe by typing, it was kind of a “SWUNG…ON…BEL…TED…WAY out of here!”

Love Chip’s HR call.

Okay, I'm bored, so here's my suggestion.

Put in a real ML pitcher, no cage, throwing full-bore ML stuff, and have him tell the batter what he’s throwing and where, and see if the hitter can hit it out. That would put the test to the old adage, “Man, he hit that like he knew it was coming!”
