Home Run Derby Field Set

Aside from ESPN and Chris Berman making the Home Run Derby ridiculously hard to watch (back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back [getting annoying?], back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back), one of my favorite events is the Home Run Derby (Monday, 8 PM EST, ESPN). The field was set today, here are the competitors:

Justin Morneau, Minnesota Twins (14 home runs)
Grady Sizemore, Cleveland Indians (23)
Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Rays (16)
Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers (21)
Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies (25)
Dan Uggla, Florida Marlins (23)
Lance Berkman, Houston Astros (22)
Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers (23)

I would love to see Sizemore win (favorite player). All of these guys have a legitimate shot to win this, but I will go ahead and say Berkman will win this.
