Yeah they usually do, but I would like to see him win it. It would be nice to see a Cubs player do it. I don't know how deep the Giants left field wall is, but it looks like he can drive it over there a lot hopefully.

Didn't Sosa go in a slump one year after the Home Run Derby? And didn't Bobby Abreu after his performance in Detroit? I am not sure.

Abreu's whole career after his Derby has been a slump.
