Under normal circumstances I cringe when a Yankee goes to the Home Run Derby. I am convinced that the Derby screws up a power hitters swing. I firmly believe that it happened to Jason Giambi the year that he won the Derby. That year he had great HR numbers prior to the mid season exhibition but the rest of the year he really tailed off. I am hoping that the same thing doesn't happen to Robby. I am thinking that his youth will mean that his stamina isn't affected and the fact that his Dad pitched to him...knowing exactly where Robby's power zone is doesn't put him in a bad zone. Of course the fact that he beat a Red Sox to win the championship puts everything in perspective and makes it OK...this time!!!!
