NL team captain David Wright named his three sluggers for the Home Run Derby and surprisingly 2/3 of them were Rockies. Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer have been asked to participate in the Home Run Derby, along with Bryce Harper.
They will go up against the AL team, which so far consist of team captain Robinson Cano as well as Chris Davis and Price Fielder. Cano said he is reserving the last spot until he hears back from his final choice.
