With this year's trade deadline being one of the most active in recent memory, there were really only two inter-league moves which will have any impact on the pool.

Dan Haren was only 14 IP behind Roy Halladay at the time of his trade from the Diamondbacks to the Angels, so he still had a chance to reward Ali Armstrong, Sid Harris, Jim Kushner and Jon Pauley for picking him. Not anymore.

No one picked Matt Capps for NL saves, but his trade from the Nationals to the Twins ensures that he won't be challenging Brian Wilson, Heath Bell and Francisco Cordero for the lead in that category.

On the standings front, Tony Wight moves into first place in the pool, mainly on the strength of Mark Teixeira's AL runs lead.
