1st HR DERBY Competition
The All-Star Home Run Derby is going to be this Tuesday night (7/13) at Angel Stadium (I'll be sitting in right field with my glove in the air!!!). The competition is simple pick two Home Run Derby contestants that you think will hit the most combined total Home Runs at the Derby. You may pick any combination of hitters, so long as you have two. NOTE: There are still two batters (one from each league) that have not been named yet, once they are named I will post them.
TIE-BREAKER-predict the total amount of homeruns you think will be hit by all eight players (combined) in the HR Derby. The NL contestants are: Hanley Ramirez (FLA)-13 HR's, 53 RBI's, .292 Corey Hart (MIL)-19 HR's, 61 RBI's .288 Matt Holliday (STL)-14 HR's, 44 RBI's, .305 NL BATTER #4 (to be named) The AL contestants are: Miguel Cabrera (DET)-21 HR's, 73 RBI's, .347 David Ortiz (BOS)-17 HR's 55 RBI's, .263 Vernon Wells (TOR)-19 HR’s, 49 RBI’s, .272 AL BATTER #4 (to be named) Any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me.

You don't have to submit your teams now, but if you're planning on submitting a team, please let me know ASAP so I can set some things up. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and good luck.

Thanks Orren, to answer a question about the tie-breaker, the combined total for all rounds for all 8 batters. Hope this clears up any confusion.

There will be three rounds total, round 1 has 8 competitors, the top 4 advance and then the top 2 advance to the final.
To better assist in picking a tie-breaker I've included the total for the last 6 HR derbys (before that they used a different format). 2009-82 2008-105 2007-74 2006-87 2005-108 2004-88 Hope this helps. Good luck. |
