--> After being named on the AL team roster, the question is now the following... Will J-Bau compete in the home-run derby?? With 21 homers this season and leading MLB for that, it looks like a no brainer, however he is not sure about it: "I've got mixed feelings about it so far." He also jokingly added "If it was in Philadelphia, I'd definitely do it," (A hitter friendly ballpark).
--> His concern stems from the fact that during his batting practice, he likes he try out hitting line drives, not homers. Therefore to compete in the derby, he would need to alter his BP swing which may affect him later on. Players such as Alex Rios and Josh Hamilton have had this problem in the past whereby after the home run derby, went into large home run slumps spanning into the next season.
-->The fact that he may need to alter his batting practice swing is a concern if he is to partake. if may be best if he left out, although it would be nice to see him burst onto the all star scene with a bang!
