Shelley Duncan Loses in HR Derby Finals; The Player Currently Known as Prince Wins the MLB One

Basically, my number one source for minor league information, Chad Jennings, reports that Shelley Duncan came in second in the Triple-A Homerun Derby. He lost in the final round to Chad Huffman. Huffman had 15 overall, to Duncan's 10.

In the Major League Homerun Derby, Prince Fielder was the winner over Nelso Cruz in the finals of the competition. Fielder won the finals 6-5, although he did have more outs to go.

Other competitors in the competition were Brandon Inge, Ryan Howard, Albert Pujols, Carlos Pena, Joe Mauer and Adrian Gonzalez.

Fielder reportedly hit the furthest homerun in the competition, a 503 foot homerun.
