"Trade deadline approaching" bump. Who are you guys targeting to speculate on as of 7/24?...
Aardsma/Vizcaino in ATL? Johnson sounding like trade bait.
Jeffress in MIL. Ditto KRod. JJ's WHIP/ERA nothing great (3.07/1.29) but 42/15 K/BB.
Scribner/Mujica in OAK? Clippard likely gone...
Tazawa if Sox become sellers?
Deep one...Oliver Perez if Ziegler is traded?
Maurer if both Kimbrel/Benoit traded?

Heard somewhere Pomeranz would be considered for the job, but with Kazmir gone he seems to have been moved in the rotation (despite only lasting 2 IP yesterday...)

Jeffress - KRod's been lights out. Someone with playoff hopes and a thin bullpen is going to deal for him. He has electric stuff and has stayed off weed.
Mujica - Gotta believe the As would put him in the role; he's been very good so far and he's done it before. Though I'd not be surprised to see him dealt too for all the same reasons.
Vizcaino - He's gotta be next in line, but I'm not so sure Johnson gets dealt.
Jeffress - KRods having a great year, and there's lots of contenders who need bullpen help. The Brewers would like to see if Jeffress has the mental capability to close; he has the stuff.
Vizcaino - Johnson is likely gone too, but the Braves may want to experiment to see who will close and setup.
People are saying this means Mujica or maybe Pomeranz in OAK now, but what about Doolittle? Any chance he comes back and slots back into the 9th inning assuming his shoulder is still attached after a few more bullpens and a rehab assignment?

Everything I read says he MIGHT be back mid/late August if all breaks perfectly for him. I'd say if you have a DL spot and project needing an extra save or two down the stretch, he'd be worth a Hail Mary stash. But I personally wouldn't drop anyone healthy for him who might get saves in the meantime.
