2006 Homerun Derby Victims?

[The Jury]

Adam Dunn is long overdue... maybe he'll get his shot this year.

is this a joke thread? im a little confused. i realize abreau has sucked since the derby last year, but ive never heard of the derby actually messing with hitters before.

[Havok1517]

I think these guys should for sure be in it...

Sexson
Huff
Dunn
Tex
Gomes
Peralta
Aram
Crosby

it might help have the opposite effect as Abreu's last year

It screws up a lot of guys swings.

It's something that is often talked about. Griffey used to talk about making sure he didn't let the derby change his swing, because lots of guys would get out of whack.

Hee Seop Choi isnt even in the majors after the derby.

He definitely should.

I'd like to see Morneau in there. He could represent Canada if they do the seperate nations thing again.

It seemed to happen a bit with Carlos Lee last year too.

Pre All-Star -- Slugged .528 (22 HR, .864 OPS)
Post All-Star -- Slugged .437 (10 HR, .747 OPS)

With Carlos, that's a little more reasonable, largely because he's such a streaky hitter. Abreu really took a dive though, which was so unusual seeing as how he's quite consistent.
