I don't mind a guy wearing the shin guards. I could even see the use of an elbow wrap similar to batting gloves, but these hockey like elbow pads, and alleged mechanical devices should be banned.

He doesn't wear the elbow guard in home run derby so he doesnt do as well? Where did they dig this guy up? What's next? He sees better because his eyes grew with his head?
