Home Run Derby! Season Winners Announced!

OK, the OP is now locked down. I had to make a few changes to the teams that haven't edited their teams:

1. Cow_tipper has replaced the team by BasketCase1080, don't worry though, since I had to replace his team, BasketCase1080 gets an automatic entry into next week's contest.

2. I had to add one player each to team #1 and team #4 to make the teams even. Team #1 got Matt Holiday from Colorado and Team #4 got Victor Martinez from CLE...he appears to be a Cleveland fan anyway.

OK, guys, good luck this week, I hope everything runs smoothly!
 
1. Magglio Ordonez
2. Travis Hafner
3. David Ortiz
4. Grady Sizemore
5. Derrick Lee

EDIT: oops, didn't see that the weekend was closed. put me in for next weekend please.
 
Thanks for letting me in to this week. I've got two homers as of now, one from Sizemore and one from Wright.

IMPORTANT UPDATE #2:

Instead of having a free for all at 8PM on Wednesday, if you would like to participate in week #2 of Home Run Derby, please PM me and tell me that you want in. I will then randomly choose 10 (9 this week) players to fill in the rest of the participants. The people who make the cut will be posted on wednesday night.
 
[quote name='nikelecious91']So I'm guessing the top 10 gets an automatic entry for this weeks contest?[/QUOTE]

"Also, the CAGs with the top 10 teams each week will automatically be entered into the next week's contest (you will be able to pick new players). The CAGs with the bottom 10 teams will not be eligible to play in the next week's contest. The other 10 spots will be up for grabs starting at approx 8 PM CDT each wednesday night."
