They are big league players, they can hit homeruns, sure it will be fun. But some guys who could hit it 500+ feet would make it a lot more fun.

Ryan Howard = 3 home runs last year. big HR hitters don't equal big HR totals in the derby. Just to show you: Uggla has 4 homers in 7 swings so far

I wish the NBA would follow suit. Maybe we'll see Lebron in the 3pt shooting contest next season.

The ASG is for the All-Stars, the Homerun Derby is NOT the ASG. It is pure fun, with no bearing on anything, and it is designed to see big bombs and that's it.

Lets give Uggla a few chances then and see if he could hit 23.

Again, Uggla isn't exactly Juan Pierre. He is a power hitter for his position and all these guys can hit them big time.

I'd like to see Hamilton vs Utley. That could be quite the show.

Then Adrian should be in it.

Looking good for Hammy

Utley was underwhelming.

I want to see Sabathia and Owings in a derby.

Odds are, you're not going to get any great barrage of homeruns, and the 5-10 range is more likely. So hats off the Uggla, he at least has hit more than Utley.

He'd hurt himself when he misses a homerun and breaks the bat over his head.
