Martinez doesn’t have a derby swing anyway. his homers seem to rely on exit velocity more than launch angle. I think Mookie would outperform him if they participated.
he didn't want to be in it last year... thought that was stupid of him last year... if he opts out this year then shame on him... Really, a guy like him is not in the HR derby for himself, it is to show that he is an elite HR hitter... and when you are a player who will never be able to hit .250 BA, you need to prove that you are as elite as there is at HR...
