Fantasy Analysis
Morneau has been very solid this season for the Twins and his Fantasy owners will be hoping the derby doesn't screw up his swing. Morneau is healthy and a must-start in all leagues right now. He should pick up his homer pace in the second half, so don't sell low at this point. (Updated 07/15/2008).

Advice
Morneau topped a tired Hamilton 5-3 in the last round, giving him the derby title. But the night belonged to Hamilton, a first-time All-Star who put on a dazzling power display worthy of The House That Ruth Built. Hamilton totaled 35 homers (on 59 swings) to Morneau's 22.
