HR Derby

I don't if i'm the only one but i'm excited about this year's HR Derby, there are big names in it and should be cool in Yankee Stadium. Maybe we could have a prediction game with it. The competitors are:

Justin Morneau - myrobbins7 - Winner
Grady Sizemore
Evan Longoria - doozer
Josh Hamilton - Business, vols kick balls, Volsguy12
Chase Utley - VolFirebirds
Dan Uggla
Lance Berkman - UTLCA, OrangeEmpire
Ryan Braun - VOLNBAMA


I will go with Braun.

Got to go with the Lefty Hamiltion. Hamilton has the sweetest swing in baseball right now. Hamilton is the best batting practice hitter I have ever seen. He really puts on a show.

He also has his old North Carolina (Cary) Legion coach pitching to him. My roomate used to play for Cary Legion and said this cat can put the ball on a tee, everytime.
