Matt Holliday would fill in the other but aside from side Prince Feilder will win the home run derby he can hit as many home runs or more than Abreu you did a couple years Prince will win the derby

I got to go with Prince over Howard on this one...

and Eric "the Red" Davis won one with a whopping total of 3?...lol...I remember Ripkens in 1991, he got in a groove...and Abreu was never the same after his big 41...left it all at the All-Star game...

I think theyre all solid hitters, its gonna be interesting to see how pujols and vlad do aswell..Im suprised bonds isnt particiapting being his home town and all..I wouldve liked to see ken griffey jr also...

Yeah, Holliday is the other participant. I've got my money on Justin Morneau... his "lazy" swing is perfect for a Home Run Derby. I bet he shoots a few into McCovey Cove tonight!
