Hmmm, let's see how they stack up... Thome .289 28 61
Bonds .365 23 48
Ortiz .304 23 78
Blalock .303 23 68
Berkman .299 16 59 (replaced Griffey)
Sosa .279 16 39
Tejada .311 15 75 (replaced Giambi)
Palmeiro .247 13 52
Griffey .251 20 60 (out)
Giambi .241 11 35 (out) Why the **** was Giambi in there, and Mr Viagra and Tejada and Berkman for that matter?  :rolleyes: Why not some of these guys? 26HR M Ramirez 25HR Dunn 22HR A-Rod 22HR Konerko 22HR Beltre 22HR Pujols 21HR Finley 21HR Edmonds 21HR JD Drew 21HR Beltran 20HR Guerrero 20HR Lowell 20HR M Cabrera 2003 Garret Anderson edged out Pujols 2002 Giambi beat Sosa 2001 Luis Gonzalez beat Sosa 2000 Sosa beat Griffey, who had won 2 previous years All that being said, I think Sosa is gonna crack under pressure. Especially w/o the corked bat.  Thome is a good pick, but it seems the best home run hitter of the year never wins the thing. Bonds could do it, altho he's not used to anyone actually pitching to him  But since he denies having been compensated to participate ( :rolleyes: ) I would say he's the best bet due to that batting average. But wait, is the pitcher a righty or lefty?

I'll go with Sosa since Minute Maid is a park that favors right-handed hitters. I think it's time Sammy actually wins the derby.

I'll take Blalock. He ususually works out for me when I take him in the fantasy game.

What do you have against Berkman, Irishman? He is one of the best ballplayers in the game and he seems to be a pretty good guy. Not to mention, one of George Bush Sr's favorite players.
