Yet another biased Red Sox fan. If you think Papi should be in the derby, you’re RETARTED! Fist of all, he had 9 homers last year, not 3. Shut your mouth if you don’t know what you are talking about. Secondly, he has three more homers than Papi this year, and one less than Youkilis, but Mauer’s HR/AB % is much better than Kevin Youkilis.

Russel Branyan denied the homerun derby cause he does not want to get distracttd
His focus from the team. Oh abd brandon inge is a good player but I don’t think he will hit any homeruns.

Wow…a lot of comments saying “Mauer is garbage”, “Mauer shouldn’t be in the derby”. If you truly think Mauer is garbage, your insane!!!!!!!!

Ok…I am really sick of all of the pro Yankees Red Sox bs… Your closed minds are just annoying. You guys think all of your players should be in the derby and all of your players should be in the All Star game. The only reason you have as many players in the All Star game is because you have more people voting than anyone.

If Joe Mauer was on either the Yankees or Red Sox, you would be lubing up his junk and taking it in every hole you can find. You would be all over this guy. If you listen to any sports expert, they say no doubt Mauer is in the top 5 player in baseball this year. His numbers are up there with some of the best now….and he has missed 1/3 of the season so far (28 games)….so of course his home runs are not going to be as high as everyone else.

No doubt he is not a huge power guy like Pujos. Morneau is the better HR hitter. However, Morneau didnt want to play. End of story…

My belief is that a NL player will win it this year. The AL grouping is a bit weak.

Homerun derby should be about power, lets do Dan Uggla, he got robbed at yankee stadium last year, no way a right hander was going to win at that field.

American League is going to lose with a team that’s sucky, against a team that has Albert Pujols
