LOL solid argument BCWWF.

He hasn't been in the derby for a couple years. He's been in them enough to be able to step aside and let the others have their day.

He's in the ads because, gee... he's one of the biggest names in baseball history?

I was surprised he was in the ads because he isn't in the players organization anymore and doesn't seem to care about major league baseball as a whole. I didn't think he was forced to do things by not being in the mlbpa, I don't know where I'm going, somebody bail me out.

He still likes making money.

If appearing in an ad for a game that he will be participating in will make him money, he will appear in the ad.

Just because he's independent of the mlbpa doesn't mean he has nothing to do with baseball.

I don't follow sports much, and I dunno how much hype Jeter gets but I remember it being alot. I used to be jaded about it back when I still followed baseball, but I've seen him do some pretty amazing defensive plays. So I dunno. He's impressive.

He's a great defensive player for sure. And a fantastic hitter.

He is consistently batting around or over 300, gets a LOT of hits consistently, he can steal, he scores a lot and his power numbers are coming along this season since his awful start.

He's not A-Rod in the power department, but he's just as valuable as him at the plate as lead-off or second in the order and he's a great team leader.

Ofcourse this is horrendously biased

Bonds officially in Home Run Derby
Slugger confirms his participation in annual contest
By Rich Draper / MLB.com

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants slugger Barry Bonds confirmed on Thursday that he will compete in the Century 21 Home Run Derby at the 75th All-Star Game next Monday at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
He had been hesitant to reveal his plans for the much-anticipated slugging contest, which will feature fellow members of the 500 home run club Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs and Ken Griffey Jr. of Cincinnati, along with 2002 Derby winner Jason Giambi.

"I'm competing in the homer-hitting contest," said Bonds prior to taking batting practice on Thursday night. The 39-year-old veteran will be making his 13th appearance at the Midsummer Classic.

The Home Run Derby will be a special one this time, featuring a fabled cast of other 500 club members on hand. Attendees will include Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Ernie Banks, Harmon Killebrew, Mike Schmidt, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Reggie Jackson.

Mays has become almost a surrogate father and batting coach for Bonds following the death of Barry's father, former Giants All-Star Bobby Bonds, last August. Mays (660), McCovey (521) and Bonds make San Francisco the only franchise with three players having more than 500 career homers.

Bonds won the event in 1996 at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia

Jeter simply understands baseball. I'm not sure if you quite understand what I mean, but the guy is a natural.
