Home Run Derby

Hello all,
We are at the all star break and it's time for the Home Run Derby. Time to see if the Ryan Howard can keep his crown. Anyone have a person that they think will win it?
Here are the participants:
Ryan Howard
Prince Fielder
Justin Morneau
Vladamir Guerro (spelling is not what I'm good at)
Alex Rios
Albert Puljos
Magglio Ordonez
and the last contestant is unknown, was Miguel Cabrerra, but he pulled out...hopefully they talk Junior into it.

I've got Howard winning again.

Just some thoughts.

I obviously will go for Howard to repeat and defend his title...however Fielder and Ordonez I also like to do well in this.

I would also like to see Vlad do good. That dude has one of the most vicious home run swings if I ever saw one. I hope Junior takes the 8th spot. If he does, the Junior for second place!

I really doubt Jr will get on board, though I too would like to see it. I like Vlad a lot as a player and guy...he's a hitting monster but less homers this year it seems and more getting the ball in play. He should do really well in the derby however.

I believe it was taken away already from the very womanish 3 hour nightly phone conversations.
