And completely feasible without giving up any top prospects if we are willing to take on some money

Championship quality lineup, but I don't think we can pull it off. The Astros are going to want too much for Bourn.

And the thing about Wren is, he very rarely tips his hand so it's hard for us to hear any legit rumors

If we make a move, it'll probably be out of nowhere

He only tips his hand when he feels other teams are moving in on his target see: willingham/Ross last year

Here are Talking Chop's top 10 midseason prospects:

1. Julio Teheran RHP
2. Randall Delgado RHP
3. Arodys Vizcaino RHP
4. Edward Salcedo 3B
5. Christian Bethancourt C
6. Carlos Perez LHP
7. Brett Oberholtzer RHP
8. Matt Lipka SS
9. Tyler Pastornicky SS
10. Paul Clemens RHP

Solid list. I tend to like Vizcaino more than Delgado although I'm one of the few. They have Bethancourt ranked pretty freaking high but Perez and Oberholtzer have been less than stellar this year so I can understand why.

I'm really glad to see Salcedo make progress this year. He's coming into the player that everyone thought he would be and I'm really starting to think he's the 3B of the future. I was a little unsure there for awhile.

Delgado over VIZ? Aw hell nah.

Rest of the list is fine though
