Jeremy wants to be popular in Kansas City, so unlike Robinson Cano, he would pick Billy Butler for the All-Star Home Run Derby.
Guthrie will be liked in KC if he can do a good job at pitching and winning some games.
Quote:
As captain of the American League Home Run Derby team, Cano had picked Prince Fielder, Jose Bautista and Mark Trumbo for his squad, skipping over Billy Butler, the Royals' lone representative in the All-Star Game. Butler is tied for 16th in the AL in home runs with 16.
The sellout crowd at Kauffman Stadium chanted Butler's name before Cano came up to hit, then booed the Yankees second baseman mercilessly as he failed to hit a ball over the fence, becoming the first Derby contestant to get skunked since Brandon Inge in 2009.
The treatment continued Tuesday as the Kauffman Stadium crowd booed Cano lustily as he was introduced before the All-Star Game
