"The second player in Diamondbacks history to participate in the Home Run Derby has hit leadoff for most of the past two weeks. He has swiped four bases.

A picture of power, Chris Young isn't.

According to the Diamondbacks roster, Young is 6 feet 2 and 200 pounds, which will make him the smallest slugger by 10 pounds in Monday night's celebration of distance - a popular prelude to Tuesday's All-Star Game in Anaheim.

No one under 210 pounds has won the event over the past decade. You think home runs and you think of former winners Prince Fielder (270 pounds), Ryan Howard (255) and Justin Morneau (235), hitters who could reach the warning track on a checked swing.

So just what kind of shot does Young have against bombers such as Detroit's Miguel Cabrera, Boston's David Ortiz, St. Louis' Matt Holliday and Milwaukee's Corey Hart?

"With some adrenaline flowing, I got to pull for him," teammate Justin Upton said.

His advice: "Lift and separate."

Manager Kirk Gibson caught Young doing as much during his final rounds of batting practice Saturday.

"He tried to lift one and we were like, 'Yeah, we caught you,' " Gibson said.

Young is quick to point out that he's not a home-run hitter, but at the same time, he doesn't expect to get blanked. He hit 32 home runs as a rookie in 2007 and has 15 this season.

"I have enough strength to get it out of there," Young said.

His teammates offered these first-round predictions:

Upton: "I think he'll hit five. That might not be enough to get him into the second round, but if not, it's still respectable."

Utility player Rusty Ryal: "I could see him hitting six."

Reliever Sam Demel: "I'm going to go two rounds, lucky number 12."

Young talked with former White Sox slugger Jermaine Dye, Marlins infielder Dan Uggla and former Diamondbacks teammate Tony Clark about what to expect."
