6 Players Named to Home Run Derby; 2 Spots Still Open

I'm calling Ordonez the first one out.

Besides Neifi Perez, who do you want to see in the HR Derby?

I want to see Bonds, but it'll never happen.

The Derby will come down to Howard v. Fielder. It will be epic. The winner will be....well you have to wait till Monday night to find out!

It won't happen, but Griffey Jr., Bonds, ARod, Pujols, Howard, Dunn, Vlad, and Richie Sexson. Some real power

For you guys, I'm helping you out with who you might want to think about picking, excluding the guys that are already in:

AL Leaders in HRS:

1. Alex Rodriguez: 28
2. Gary Sheffield: 20
3. Carlos Pena: 19
4. Torii Hunter: 17
5. Alex Rios: 17
6. Jack Cust: 15
7. Paul Konerko: 15
8. Victor Martinez: 15
9. Richie Sexson: 15

Mike Lowell, John Buck, Frank Thomas, Jhonny Peralta, Grady Sizemore, Ian Kinsler, and Sammy Sosa all have 14.

NL Leaders in HRs:

1. Adam Dunn: 23
2. JJ Hardy: 18
3. Barry Bonds: 17
4. Dan Uggla: 17
5. Chris Duncan: 16
6. Carlos Lee: 16
7. Brandon Phillips: 16
8. Albert Pujols: 15
9. Carlos Beltran: 15
10. Chipper Jones: 15

Aramis Ramirez, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Alfy Soriano, and David Wright have 15 as well...

I, personally would want to see Adam Dunn take some swings in the Derby, but I think he's nervous about swinging and missing a lot...

Anyone wanna make some challenges about who's going to win the home run derby? Someone from the NL, someone from the AL, a certain individual? Your call. Just an idea, for a lil bit of anxiety and a lil spice to see what happens and who wins the challenges in the end...

I've got to go with Ryan Howard no matter who the other entrants are. Seems strange they are still trying to find entrants this close to the contest. If Jason Kendall and Juan Pierre had made All Star team they could have been the last two entrants. Ordonez is not a big home run hitter so agree with Corey about him being first eliminated.

Wouldn't you guys think that Barry Bonds would be the last NL player to get in the HRD? It's his ballpark, that definitely has something to do with it. It's not like he's going to get booed, or is he? in his own ballpark?

This is slowly turning into the Slam Dunk contest...

It'll either be Pujols or Bonds in the NL, and either Gary Sheffield, Torii Hunter, or possibly Carlos Pena in the AL, imo

If swinging and missing didn't count for outs, Dunn would win this thing because it would be either a homerun or a strike.

I think Pujols would win, but I don't want to see him in it because we've seen what the derby does to these guys the rest of the way. Btw, I'm rooting for the Prince, he is never cheated on any of his swings.

I'd like to see A-Rod and Adam Dunn, but A-rod's a little hurt still and I doubt Dunn will do it. How about C.C. Sabathia and Dontrelle Willis? I mean, they're good hitting pitchers, hehe. Seriously though, Sheffield would be my choice for AL, there's enough options for the NL that someone will fit in. Heck, that person may somehow win.

Insan...was thinking same thing I was thinking...seems like a lot of the big stars don't want to have anything to do with it...just like the slam dunk contest there are only so many ways to slam dunk a basketball.

I got Big Daddy Vladdy in this one.

Neifi Perez would be in it but he played so lousy even with steroids he didn't make the All Star team and now he can't play anyway....steroids did him a lot of good..one homer in over 60 at bats.

I wanna see Sosa and Griffey in there, just for old-time's sake.

Griffy and Manny should be in it

i say Matt Holliday deserves to be choosen as one of the remaining two, lets put it this way, he leads the league in average home run distance at plus 412 ft. his last home run was 460 ft. best hitter in the league

fielder does not have enough stamina to win the competition...everyone thinks hes going to win but other big guys in the past have sucked...vladimir guererro will win fellas

Pujols and Rios were the last 2 participants added to the home run derby list
