No major changes since our last update, as Dan holds on to his perch atop the MLB Predictions Pool leaderboard. Our top ten’s been shuffled around a bit, with Cole Hamels (NL W) and Brett Gardner (AL SB) allowing Aaron Smith and Amy Gill to sneak into the second and third spots, respectively.

Albert Pujols seems to be heating up, with 4 HR and 10 RBI since the All-Star break. Troy Tulowitzki is also on a tear, although his teammate Carlos González just hit the DL with a bruised right wrist.

We’ll keep our eyes open as trade rumors continue to swirl, paying extra attention to news containing keywords “Ubaldo” or “Heath.” Remember that players traded across leagues only maintain statistics from their original designation, with the exception of HBP totals.

Congrats to Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar on this weekend’s HOF induction.
