Today Corey Hart will compete in the Home Run Derby. By some miracle of the baseball gods, Hart is actually having a good season with 21 home runs already. He only needs three to tie his own personal record.
AL Hitters
- Miguel Cabrera - 22
- David Ortiz - 18
- Vernon Wells - 19
- Nick Swisher -15
NL Hitters
- Corey Hart - 21
- Matt Holiday - 16
- Chris Young - 15
- Hanley Ramirez - 13
The selections for the competition are odd to say the least. A perfect example is choosing Nick Swisher over Joey Bautista of the Tampa Bay Ray. Bautista wasn't even invited even though he leads the league in HR with 24. Another good example is Ramirez over Ryan Howard who as a grand total of 17.
My picks to advance to the final are Cabrera and Hart, mostly due to sentimental reasons, with Cabrera over Hart.
