I covered that with "Whoops. I can do better".  Honest mistake. 

Sorry, should have made it more clear that I wasn't talking about you. I was talking to the other person on the thread whose mistake was not honest.

MLB.com published its midseason update this morning...conservatively promoting Gunnar only to 41 and listing Orioles at 1-3-41-52-73-100

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/top100/

Skimming the list for stretch wishlist type items, maybe akin to the Spencer Howard we'll see tonight, I wonder who may be traded this month out of:

19 Kahlil Watson   (rooting like heck for the Marlins present winning streak to continue)

21 Brett Baty

24 Max Meyer

29 Eury Perez

46 Cole Winn     (Rangers 2022 hopes tottering like Marlins)

57 JJ Bleday

60 Gabriel Arias

63 Ronny Mauricio

64 Andrew Painter

66 Mick Abel

67 Ezequiel Duran    (TEX's Josh Smith and Duran are kind of their version, lesser, of the Gunnar-Westburg pair)

68 Brayan Rocchio

70 Tyler Freeman

71 Justin Foscue     (he is the polished TEX bat who feels really redundant after Seager-Semien and Josh Smith having an excellent season)

93 Gavin Williams

All the CLE guys here mostly idle speculation...they hoard as much as the Rays but they can't play all the middle infielders.

Well, according to politically correct crowd, they are now the Guardians.

According to MLB and the team's ownership.

Buck thinks he's an outfielder?

I think Buck knows he is a quality MLB ball player.

I am Switzerland. But not the snooty, NWO Davos part of Switzerland. That place is the worst.

The Mets most frequent DH, JD Davis, is batting .245/.333/.344.

Mancini's .277/.353/.423 would be a major improvement at a nominal prospect cost.

Baty, please! Throw in Tate.

A modern day Colby Rasmus.

It would be cool if some of these trades happened well before the deadline of Aug 2. I mean, you'd think teams would want to get the most time out of their rentals.

Let's not get too excited.  Those kind of nuggets don't come along very often.

Kahlil Watson. I find him interesting but for the wrong reasons. 252 PA. 15 walks. 99 strikeouts.  Wow!

Teams selling hold out to the last minute to get more teams bidding and maximize their return.  Teams buying wait to see who might become available if more teams decide to sell.  Teams on the fringe of contention wait to decide which way they're going to jump, buy or sell.  There may be early trades, but most will come very near the deadline.

A couple of names I would like to add to the list:

39.  Kyle Harrison, SF, LHP, 3-2, is a starter just must be having severe inning restrictions.  2.76 ERA between A+/AA.  116 K in 65 IP.  Last start had 11 Ks. 

74.  Brayan Bello, Bos, RHP, 10-4, 2.33 ERA between AA/AAA.  114 K in 85 IP.  Saw really impressive video of his pitching.  98 mph fastball and wicked slider.  Maybe the O's can do a reverse Ed Rod trade.

Bello is scheduled to make his first ML start tomorrow, vs. the Rays. I doubt the RS will part with him since they're always in need of pitching. But you never know -- or maybe I should say "I never know."

Too bad, his stuff is just nasty.  Yeah, I doubt they're trading him if they think he's major league ready.

19 seems a little high for that stat line.
