Any guesses as to who will be the last man added to tonights derby? I know Hardy said he wouldn't do it, but it seems MLB is scrambling to fill that last spot and he is on hand. His 18 hr's make him a legit choice.

I'm hoping he gets the call, but I doubt it as he doesn't seem to be the type of hitter that would excel in a home run derby.

I still think Bonds might step in and fill that last NL spot.

This would definitely be ideal. I could see it happening, but it's probably a long shot.

 

I think it will end up being Matt Holliday, which I can't really get excited about.

Just announced, Matt Holliday.

I think Prince should have taken Homer Me Elmer to throw to him

 

I don't think Prince will mess up his swing too much. Prince has a natural home run swing, so if he just swings normally he should be fine.

What's the over/under on Prince?

[Oldcity]

Over/under as in amount of first-round homers? I'll say he hits 11.

[bullox]

Yeah - that's what I meant. I'll take the over.

It appears that the Derby will be broadcast on MLB.com for free.

Well, Prince got 3 and didn't advance to the 2nd round.
