All-Star Break Standings

Vince maintains a narrow 93-88 lead over Greg despite an amazing run of dongs by Ryan Howard of the Phillies.

Vince is led by Adam Dunn, whom we have learned is not one of Toronto GM JP Riccardi's favorite players.

An interesting point about the halfway standings - while the top two HR hitters are on the rosters, no one else in the surprising Top 15 was drafted. Not well played this season.

Here are the leaders at the break:

Player TEAM HR
Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers
  1. Ryan Howard PHI 28 (Greg)
  2. Adam Dunn CIN 26 (Vince)
  3. Chase Utley PHI 25
  4. Ryan Braun MIL 23
  5. Pat Burrell PHI 23
  6. Hanley Ramirez FLA 23
  7. Grady Sizemore CLE 23
  8. Dan Uggla FLA 23
  9. Lance Berkman HOU 22
  10. Adrian Gonzalez SD 22
  11. Carlos Quentin CWS 22
  12. Jermaine Dye CWS 21
  13. Josh Hamilton TEX 22 (Vince picked up on June 3 with 16 on the board)
  14. Carlos Lee HOU 21
  15. Ryan Ludwick STL 21
  16. Rick Ankiel STL 20
  17. Jason Bay PIT 19
  18. Milton Bradley TEX 19
  19. Jason Giambi NYY 19
  20. Mark Jacobs FLA 19
  21. Nate McLouth PIT 19
  22. M. Reynolds ARI 19
  23. Alex Rodriguez NYY 19 (Greg)

I am not ashamed to admit that I have never heard of five of them.
