I doubt it will be Manny representing the Domnican, I always thought he disliked the Home Run Derby as he thought it messed up his swing or something. It will probably be Ortiz, as I always hear about how he absolutley crushes balls in batting practices around the league.

The problem is that half of those countries don't have a single batter capable of hitting one out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but China, Chinese Taipei, Italy, Netherlands, and South Africa don't even have a single major leaguer to represent them. Hee Sop Choi is Korea's best hitter, and Trent Durrington, a pitcher, is the best hitter from Australia.

It will be interesting to see the selections, that's for sure.

Re: MLB changes HR Derby format

Everyone is talking about Bay or Morneau for Canada... anyone forget Larry Walker? He's done some great things over his career, and he can hit the long ball.

I think he was talking about the World Baseball Classic.

BTW, I'm pretty sure Durrington is a 3B.

Re: MLB changes HR Derby format

United States- Alex Rodriguez
Dominican Republic- Manny Ramirez
Canada- Jason Bay
Japan- Hideki Matsui
Puerto Rico- Carlos Delgado
Venezuela- Bobby Abreau
Curaco- Andruw Jones (considering he's the current league leader)
Panama- Carlos Lee

Only problem is that this means Miggy doesn't get a chance to defend his title.

So no Derek Lee? This format sucks ***...Bay and Matsui, ha lmao

Re: MLB changes HR Derby format

Nothing surprising with an arrogant Sox fan.

So a .311 avg with 15 HR and 41 RBI for a sophomore season isn't good enough? Alright.

Jason Bay is better than you think.

Re: MLB changes HR Derby format

Bay says he is in its on the pirates home page

Re: MLB changes HR Derby format

arrogant sox fan? what are you talking about dude, Derek Lee is on the CUBS not the SOX lol and if youve been living under a rock, Derek Lee has been having a MAGICAL 1ST HALF OF A SEASON having 25 Homeruns, .386 avg., 67 RBUs, so wherev you been since April dude? Bay is good, but Id much rather see Lee and Pujols besides Bay and crappy hideki matsui
