Chase Utley has agreed to take part in the Home Run Derby, which occurs Monday night at Yankee Stadium as part of MLB All-Star festivities.
Utley’s 24 home runs lead Major League Baseball, and he’s been the leader for much of the season.
Utley said the derby is basically like a bad batting practice, and since he has batting practice all the time it shouldn’t affect him. I’ll agree with The Man.

Come on the Chase. It’s good to see a skinny (compared to Howard, Ortiz etc.) guy taking part, showing it aint all about being 30 pounds and that you can hit it out with just a sweet, sweet swing.

Yeah, like back when Griffey used to be in the home run derby back in the day. I wonder else who will take part.

I hope Utley wins this, but I kinda like Berkman to win. Can we produce our 3rd champ in 4 years?

Huh….Chase, I hope you don’t have post HR derby mechanics problem during the 2nd half of the season. Remember Bobby Abreu?

The current status of my life is significantly more worthless than the accuscore forecast. Good point though.

I don’t think the derby will affect his swing. He has his head on better than the Bobby Abreu’s of the world that complain about losing their power afterwards. He is still talking about it!

Actually, ESPN.com had a full article on how A-Rod is getting divorced. That’s worthless. As well as a link to Women’s Basketball, both WNBA and College.

He’s not in the ASG. He got to do it last year because he won in 06.

Plus, Howard might strike out in the derby.
