He is my view on this:
-both lefties with huge power --- push
-Ortiz much more of a pull hitter with uppercut swing, Howard more opposite field home run hitter with very level swing --- Huge Advantage Ortiz
-Ortiz has experience in derby, howard has none -- advantage ortiz
-Ortiz has been red hot, howard has been ice cold - advantage ortiz
Howard isnt even a big hiiter in batting practice like McGwire , Sosa, etc he just works on hitting line drives. Howard has no pedigree for this event at all.
I love Howard and hope he wins the whole thing, but I just don't see how this match is almost a pickem. When I cant think of one advantage howard has.
Thoughts?
