Buehrle>Wood Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) From espn That means that only one member of the remaining top five home run hitters in the league will be added to Bautista's side. He has a choice of Baltimore's Nelson Cruz (28), the White Sox's Jose Abreu (27), and Detroit's Victor Martinez (21). Cruz turned down a spot so safe to say it won't be him. For some reason mlb is dragging this on until Thursday. No word on who Brian Dozier blew to get in.

winninguglyin83 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Brian Dozier? I guess Kent Hrbek wasn't available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. Twins fans may have gone all Royals-fans circa 2012 on Bautista if he didn't pick Dozier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 He didn't want it. I think if he wanted it, he would be there no doubt OK, I never saw any story stating that he declined. I know there is all this stuff about the derby messing with your swing, but I still would have liked to watch him. He is the only thing that would have made listening to Chris Berman tolerable.

I agree, selfishly I wanted him there. Maybe next season they will convince him to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
