GAME NOTES: Decided to put up a Home Run Derby game thread for anyone that wants to discuss. Who would have thought we’d ever see two second baseman and two center fielders in a home run derby? With the short porch in right field and the raw BP power Josh Hamilton possesses (I’m hearing amazing stories), he’s my pick to win the competition over Chase Utley in the final. Thoughts? Picks?
