Just for the record, put me down for Luis Gonzalez. That guy is just on fire. All of them have a legit shot, though.

According to a new article I just read, Manny Ramirez and Troy Glaus have both been added to the HR Derby.

Giambi really put on a show, but it kinda' took him out of the next round. I'm not real fond of the head to head match-ups in the second round. They should go head to head in the final round only, imho, which would have been Giambi and Sosa.
