Id like to see both Cubans in the contest. I'm 50-50 on Cargo or Brown but the others are all givens for me.

beat writers have been drooling on Cespedes' batting practice since they signed him.
A few of them say it's the most impressive batting practice since Barry Bonds lol.

Unfortunately, the gates open after the A's take BP so I've never witnessed it :(

tell them to watch matt holliday hit balls completely out of busch stadium

Matt Holiday isnt going to excite anyone though outside of St Louis. But ya.. he can hit it far.

isn't that what were talking about? lol

I was talking about what would get the fans excited. Guys like Puig and Cespedes would. I dont think anyone is going to watch the HR Derby specifically to watch Matt Holiday.

You know when quality in a position is weak when a player like J.J. Hardy is the top vote getter; a middle of the pack SS with nice power but low batting average.
