Home Run Derby and other All-Star Props

[JakeT.]

Just some purely fun bets for the All-Star Game if you feel like betting it:

2003 Home Run Derby
Carlos Delgado +370
Jason Giambi +385
Field +470

Giambi is a given. He is the defending champion and was arguably the best hitter in 2001 when Sosa took the title despite not hitting as many home runs the first two rounds. Delgado’s only derby showing saw him hit 5 in the first round, followed by a 1-3 letdown to Griffey in round 2. He is the type of hitter that should do well in this tourney, however. The field bet has lots of value as well. Bonds looks like he is going to bypass this event, but you never know. Griffey was adamant about not playing in the derby the year he won it, only deciding to play an hour before it started. The two “field” spots will most likely be filled by Richie Sexson and Mike Lowell. Lowell has shown great power this season, but Sexson is the main threat in this pick. He came in 4th last year and is smacking the ball around this season. I just can’t see the other fellas winning this one. The park’s dimensions are even on every side so no batter really has an advantage. Those are the big three for this event. Good luck.

THANKS JAKE,
I THINK GARRETT ANDERSON HAS A DECENT
SHOT HERE AS WELL.

 

[JakeT.]

Not me. Anderson is more of a line drive hitter, not much straight power, not alot of muscle. Maybe he'll pull off the huge upset though. We'll see.

Jake, if i'm not mistaken you called this one right last year didn't you? I'll take these props with you GL tonite. jaygordo

 

[JakeT.]

Yea, got Giambi last year. He is the ultimate derby contestant. The year before last he hit 14 in the first round, then hit the 2nd most in round 2 but got eliminated because he was paired with Sosa who went on to win. Delgado and Sexson are in the same group of guys who can go yard at will. Good luck jay.

that's right now I remember that night. How's the weather up there tonight? My cousin is up in the panhandle and enjoying the warm days cool evenings. Over 100 in slc today.
