23. Mets (21): Tough month for David Wright, who last homered July 27.
24. Indians (23): You have to admire the candor of manager Manny Acta. He says the Tribe is three hitters shy of having a good team. Is that all?
25. Marlins (27): Will Carlos Zambrano want to continue his career as a reliever? He might find a better free-agent market as a setup man than a starter.
26. Padres (25): Last time a Padres pitcher struck out more than five? Jason Marquis' eight-strikeout game July 25.
27. Rockies (28): Rookie catcher Wilin Rosario keeps hitting.
28. Twins (26): Scott Diamond is the only member of the current rotation with more than five wins.
29. Cubs (29): Starlin Castro is a good piece to build around. But without a no-trade clause in his contract, a $60 million deal won't keep him out of trade rumors, especially not when Javier Baez starts knocking on the door.
30. Astros (30): Don't be shocked if Craig Biggio winds up as the long-term manager for owner Jim Crane and GM Jeff Luhnow.
