They should have an Anti-HR derby
and call it “The Royals Starting Lineup”
If it did I"m sure less people would complain than they do about the status quo
Everyone who bashes Kendall..... he is a damn good catcher. Very smart behind the plate. He has great BAT CONTROL, which makes him a good top of the order hitter.

I am surprised to learn that you were not joking about Brandon Inge being in a HR Derby
The only more surprising thing was that Brandon Inge was actually named to an All-Star Game.

MLB needs to revamp the HR Derby
The number of HRs should continue over from the previous round. It seems odd that the guy who hits the most HRs does not necessarily win the derby, but rather the guy who hits the most in the final mini-round.
And the first round takes so long, it would be better to just go to the final round with the top 3 or so, and give them another 10 outs.
And, yes, the biggest improvement would be axing Chris Berman.
To perpetuate the illusion that the people who paid $150 per ticket are at an event
rather than watching semi-organized batting practice.
I like this comment from the Fangraphs post on what the Rays should do:
I think the Rays need two pieces. They need a RH hitting DH with pop. The most economical and wise move would be to trade for Jose Guillen for a decent(not great) B prospect. The experiment of trying to force a position player into that slot failed miserably with Burrell. Guillen is comfortable with that role and brings veteran leadership to the team. If the Rays get serious they could go after Fielder to DH this year and play 1st base next year. They can afford the 5 million left for him this season and by letting Pena and probably Crawford leave for FA, they can afford a 14 million arbitration year for Prince to play 1st base next year.
Get that to their management!
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball...Rock Chalk Talk
B Prospect for Guillen?
I’m in. Send it to the commish for approval
Dear Alex Gordon:
I still think you will be awesome, but for the love of God, please stop getting hurt.
Sincerely,
RF
you can never value "veteran leadership" too highly
especially since Guillen is the best veteran leader in the history of whatever
Would you like to follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or my blog...well you can't.

OT: I assume most Royals fans at least have some roots to the Kansas City area
If you don’t, you should probably get medicated or something, because you are crazy.
That being said, what NBA team do you root for? And please, don’t say “I hate the NBA.” Because that will set off a large argument for me.
My answer to the question? The Twolves. I got hooked on Garnett after seeing him play in Denver a few times, and (stupidly) stayed with them after he moved on to the Celtics. That’s right, my three favorite teams are the Royals, Chiefs, and Twolves. Needless to say, I’m a pretty tortured fan.
Dear Alex Gordon:
I still think you will be awesome, but for the love of God, please stop getting hurt.
Sincerely,
RF
I hate the NBA
BUT If I have to pick some teams…
I really only pull for former Jayhawks. So I hav ebeen pulling for Boston lately, and I hated the Bulls when MJ was there, but Hinrich was my favorite player ever… So I guess maybe Washington. Though Im kinda coming around to Ok City, and I kinda follow Portland because my brother worked for them for a while.
C'MON CHEN!!! ---Will Ferrell
by averagegatsby on Jul 12, 2010 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Ya since the Twolves suck, after they quickly become irrelevant, I start rooting for players too.
So I rooted for the Celtics because of KG/ Pierce. I also like Hinrich because he’s an Iowa guy and I went to college in Iowa. But living in Wichita, I get Thunder games now, so I’m becoming a fan of them. I saw Durant play at the fieldhouse, and he was awesome.
Dear Alex Gordon:
I still think you will be awesome, but for the love of God, please stop getting hurt.
Sincerely,
RF
I really don't watch the NBA.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball...Rock Chalk Talk
I try to imagine the NBA doesn't exist
And players’ careers culminate in college, but when I do pay attention I follow the Bucks. Grew up by Madison and just saw more of their games than anyone else.

If KG and TD switched teams for their careers
KG would have a better resume. They are just about equally good. And their are valid points for either being better than the other.

is the HR derby the only "event" tonight
or was there a “Celebrity” Softball Game earlier featuring the guys who read the ticker on ESPNews and the guy who plays the Geico Caveman (not the main guy, but his buddy)?
If this is it, the warm up act should be a HR derby with the pitchers. They could even bring in a shorter fence for them.
the softball game was earlier.
Jenny Finch became the first woman to ever hit a HR. Other notables: Marissa Miller, Bo Jackson, Michael Clarke Duncan, and, of course, MC Hammer.
Dear Alex Gordon:
I still think you will be awesome, but for the love of God, please stop getting hurt.
