Last week I challenged you to pick a Diamondback and describe what All-Star skill competition in which they would participate:
Cody Ross
in the 5 K

Addison Reed

Martin Prado and Aaron Hill
Hitting into Double Plays competition
How will they outdo each other? Runners on 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd. Grounding into them, lining into them, bunting into them, popping up into them. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Now that we've reached the halfway* point, it's time to start over. Kishi is our first half champion, and starting next week the standings will be cleared away. He'll face off against the second half champion (assuming he doesn't win again, in that case I don't know).
The good news for you, possible participant, is that you don't have a large gap to make-up. Your day is tomorrow. Seize it!
No challenge this week, but if you one want to complain about the Diamondbacks or make jokes about them, then feel free to do it in the comments.
