Trout And The HR Derby

[nando714]

Will he do it this season at the mid summer classic?

Would you care if he did? He would drop bombs in at stadium in cinci.

Personally I think it'd be fun to watch him hit in it

[CAAngelsLifer]

i'd watch it. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

In before "it'll ruin his swing"

[mrwicked]

He should do it bunting.

Just to even the playing field.

[Angelsfirst]

Same scenario as last year. Personally I'm against it if it has ANY chance at all of affecting his swing negatively. That might be up for debate but its not like there have been no examples of players having long HR droughts and slumps after participating in the derby.

The Most Interesting Trout In The World

No thanks. Id want any Angels player getting as much rest as possible during the asb. Playing in the all star game is bad enough.

Well, fortunately, Trout is going to be our only representative, so the rest of the team will get the three days off.

 

Thanks, Royals!

Street has a great shot to be selected.

Pujols is currently leading the AL in HRs. Perhaps he'll participate in the derby instead, or perhaps he'll even be joining Trout in Cincy.

[tomsred]

I only want Royals to play in the ASG.  That will create a crisis in the commissioner's office, and it will be hilarious to watch.

[Angel Oracle]

And maybe cause the Royals to slump after the ASB, which should send their fans into panic mode?

they got rest over the AS break last year and then they couldn't hit the ball for 3 weeks. 

[ScottT]

If he wants to do it... and I'm guessing he does... he should.

[CAAngelsLifer]

it would send their fans back to whatever sport they were cheering for before last season. 

[19HALO71]

He was last years All Star MVP, nothing left to prove.

 

Then again, I am not a big fan at all of games that don't count. The injury risk scares the hell out of me.

 

Go Halos!!

 

P.S. I would absolutely watch it, if Trout participates.

[Ray McKigney]

Subway, Body Armor, and Nike want him to do it.

[Jason]

There's always issues with whether or not guys should participate in the derby. Why not eliminate the derby altogether? Does anyone really care about it?

I don't.  Boring.  Though if Trout were in it, I would probably watch.

I'd rather not see him do it just because he's not a freak power guy like Stanton or Harper. Trout hits bombs cuz he has a really good quick swing. I don't think he'd do great.

Under Armour?
