Nice homer pick w/ Posey...leaving the leaving the top pick at C out.

0 chance Matheny leaves Molina out

These were my picks. Not who will be there. And Pence can hit the ball a long way

Your pick, Justin Upton, would probably strike out in the HR Derby. LOLOLOL

Wainwright, Molina, Carpenter, Neshek

He won't be playing. I wonder which jersey he will wear. I bet he wears a generic NL jersey.

Did Garret Richards make it?
