He was followed by RHP Tyler Guilfoil (8th round, Houston Astros), RHP Sean Harney (8th round to Tampa Bay Rays) and infielder Chase Estep (9th round, New York Mets). It all led into an exciting Home Run Derby where Albert Pujols turned the clock back to 2005. Even though he did not win, it was great to see the old man swing his way into the semifinals.
