Kike Hernandez Batting First On Saturday

Boston Red Sox utility player Kike Hernandez remains in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the New York Yankees. He'll bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Jameson Taillon.

Is the Home Run Derby a Power Killer?

I don't know about you all, but for as far back as I can remember, I know I've heard fans and media talk about how after a player competes in the Home Run Derby they almost always seem to "lose their swing" and have a power drop-off in the second half. I've heard that repeated […]
