No Rockies in the Home Run Derby

[El Supremo]

...Arenado is likely to be selected to the All-Star Game, though not as a starter for the National League, but he said he won't be taking his hacks in the derby.

"I just think it would be too much, if I make my first All-Star Game," Arenado said.

Arenado added that he didn't want to "mess with my swing," by participating in the Home Run Derby.

Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who was captain of the NL derby team last summer in Minneapolis, said he has no plans to compete in the near future, at least not until his 18-month-old son, Taz, is old enough to remember the event and enjoy it...
