If McGuire hits ten 500 foot blasts and Tino Martinez hits eleven 400 foot shots, McGuire should move on to the next round. That's what the derby is about. And the real sluggers should benefit from putting on a show.

I think this is a fine idea, but the problem with doing it in a stadium is that you can't see where the balls would have landed. You can't really project distance well unless you can measure height or speed. Therefore, the home run derby should be relocated to a field large enough to measure where the balls stop rolling. That would be fun.
