Who do you think we will get in the Homerun Derby packs on Friday/Satruday? Heres the guys I thought we could potentially see.
Bryce Harper
Robinson Cano
Aaron Judge
Vlad Sr
Vlad Jr
Griffey Jr ( doubt it but would be very happy if he was)
Garrett Anderson
Luis Gonzalez
Frank Thomas
They said in the stream they would be former winners only. Frazier and Cespedes are locks. No Vlad Jr.
I missed the stream, I added Vlad Jr just because he was so exciting to watch last year. Hopefully we get a new version of his pops!
Yeah backwards hat Junior would be a dream but Im not sure they will give him a new card before they give him his signature. Frazier and Cespedes would be a let down for me just because im not a big fan of either of them. Both of them are worthy of an upgrade though so I wont be surprised if they are there.

Josh Hamilton reveal?
Don't count on it, now than Hamilton is back on being his total F-UP self
Lmao cant believe I forgot to add Stanton, he needs an upgrade bad. Hamilton wont get a card because of his off field issues, he has gotten some trouble for child abuse. Ripkin is a very real possibility though.
Cespedes cards have raked in past...Frazier is a lock. Miguel Tejeda reveal? I'll never forget Berkman hitting bomb after bomb over the tracks at minute maid and then Tejeda won in finals hitting 326 foot flies to the crawford boxes...crowd was going insane for berkman then pop ups by Tejeda

I wish, just for more Rangers cards... but also Josh didn't win that HR Derby.

Not officially. Morneau won in finals but man Hamilton out on best derby I've seen so much talent. One of most naturally talented players to EVER play the game...could been a pitcher also. A lot of teams were considering drafting him as a pitcher he threw 97 or so in high school.
@Liljayne300 said in Homerun Derby Packs:
Better have a 95+ Judge in there
Judge has been my dude for three years running on this game, he desperately needs an upgrade from this promo
Feel like any current LS players that won will get a juiced up card. Not sure how many total there will be....first pack has a selection of 6, so if 2 sets maybe 12 total?:
LS Option: Judge (won as rookie + Set rookie HR record), Alonso (did same as Judge the next year), Cano (Father/son duo win), Harper (Won at home stadium), Cespedes (2x winner), Stanton (Generic power-hitter prototype throw in)
Legend Option: Prince Fielder reveal! (2x winner), Griffey Jr (3x winner) , Dave Parker (first HR Derby Champ), Frank Thomas, Cal Ripken Jr (Both legends with no high end card yet), Garret Anderson (low diamond collection reward only...so kind of another generic throw in to give him a high diamond option)
Possible legend sub: Morneau for his win against Hamilton who had a monster day but tired himself out at Yankee stadium
Winners in the game: This gives us more than enough cards two drops of 5 card packs.

1991 Cal Ripken Jr.

2010 David Ortiz
2011 Robinson Canó
2013 Yoenis Céspedes
2014 Yoenis Céspedes
2015 Todd Frazier
Most HR in a single round: maybe a base round with lower vision/contact but off the charts power?
1 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
2 Joc Pederson
3 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
5 Ronald Acuña Jr.
I know they said winners but it would seem silly not to include juiced up versions of these popular players. Vladdy Jr. has a FOTF but Joc & Acuna don't.
Most single derby HRs: We've got more than enough winners but some of these would be fun (winners excluded).
1 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
3 Joc Pederson
5 Kyle Schwarber
8 Ronald Acuña Jr.
Basically the previous list with Schwarber added in. His juiced up cards are always popular and would be a nice add for the base round.

In the stream they said it would only be homerun derby champions so Schwarber, Vlad jr, Acuna, and Joc wont be options.
I'm excited about Cespedes, even though he'll be a Tiger. He could get a Mets silver slugger flashback.
