Milkman delivers Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I figured since we have one of our own representing us this year, we ought to have a thread in PHT to discuss it. I really think Dye is gonna take this thing home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 My pick for the HR Derby winner? Shocking, I am sure. Personally, I want Jermaine to win, but I think Howard will take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 It seems to me that usually one of the guys you least expect to make a run always winds up having a very good Derby. Dye and Glaus are probably the 2 least-known on the list, so I would be willing to bet at least one of them makes the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) It seems to me that usually one of the guys you least expect to make a run always winds up having a very good Derby. Dye and Glaus are probably the 2 least-known on the list, so I would be willing to bet at least one of them makes the finals. I wouldn't be surprised if Glaus won it. A very smooth swing he has, he can defenitely make some noise. He might not have the most homeruns in each round, but he'll break out when it matters the most (the last round) I want Dye to win it, but at the same time it wouldn't bother me if he didn't. I don't want to see him get homer happy in the second half of the season even if I think he's more professional than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Im not abig fan of the HR derby, i hope Dye does well though. Id much rather watch a duck snort derby basestealing derby double play turning derby sac fly derby strikeout derby sac bunt derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 IF I even watch I'll defenitely have the TV on mute. Berman with that fake-ass annoying homerun call of his makes me want to rip my hair out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I was at a sports book earlier today and was a little surprised to see Jermaine listed as the least favorite to win tonight at 12-1. Furthermore, they had a matchup between him and Berkman. In it, JD was listed at +150 while Berkman was -180. I didn't think Dye would be the favorite to win this event....but I sure thought he'd get more respect than this. Go get 'em JD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 After Jermaine played 19 innings yesterday, then travel to Pittsburg, I would be shocked if he was better than mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have as many fielders as MLB has out there for the HR Derby? Cause that'd only add to the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) I'm hopin' Dye wins this thing, obviously. I've gotta go with Ryan Howard, though. Edited July 10, 2006 by Jordan4life_2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Im not as big of fan of the derby as I used to be. I wish it was just 1 round, whoever has the most home runs wins. Now it just drags on. Ill take Ryan Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
