I am a Reds fan and hated to see Josh Hamilton go (but would do it again in a heartbeat because we got the ace of our pitching staff in return). Anyways, his story just continues to get better daily. 28 HR's in the first round of the Home Run Derby? Are you serious? He is the next coming of Babe Ruth:)

I'm a Rangers fan and even though we could use some pitching, I'd still keep Josh. ;) He has really become a fan favorite here. I knew he would put in a showing but that was unbelievable. I'm so happy for him. Even though he didn't win, everyone is going to remember Josh when they think about this year's derby. The Rangers are on the road until the end of July. When they return home, I have no doubt the place will go absolutely nuts when he hits the field.

don't be disappointed that your favorite team had to give away an upcoming great player because you got a Cy Young Award Candidate in Edinson Volquez. I was watchin the Home run derby and I saw him blast those shots into right-center field. I disagree that he is the next coming of babe Ruth because he could be better than Babe because in Babe's days the home runs were practically behind second base and today it is much more difficult to hit home runs and players today aren't getting much of their power from muscles but from their legs like Dan Uggla and Grady Sizemore who have practically the weakest arms in the league but really have strong legs
