By Douglas Benton As the trading deadline approaches, less than 10 days now, it is time once again to review and dissect those possible players that could be changing zip codes before the month is over. While the marquee player is lacking from serious trade talks, here is a look at some possible players who could be traded in the coming days. 10. Bobby Abreu, RF, Philadelphia Phillies Abreu has gone from franchise player to valuable trade bait in about a year, but his move his very unlikely. He can block any trade and will probably force the pick up of his option for next season to finalize any deal. That would leave a team on the hook for the rest of his $16 million this year and another $16 million next year, which is a steep price to pay for a player that has been on the decline since last year?s All-Star break. Suitors will be limited in this market because of the money, which means that Abreu will be staying in Philly untill at least this winter. 9. Jose Guillen, RF, Washington Nationals Guillen looked like a strong candidate to be traded about a month ago because of his strong skill set, but a trip to the disabled list will probably scare teams off to the off-season. Guillen has had an off year with only nine home runs and a .216 average, but he has shown he can hit for power and has a great arm in right. Someone might still take a flyer on him at a cheaper price, but general manager Jim Bowden probably wouldn?t be game for that and the suitors would be a couple teams at best. 8. Greg Maddux, SP, Chicago Cubs While his numbers have been in steady decline since he joined the Cubs, Maddux is still a very valuable commodity who can bring both leadership and playoff experience to any staff that acquires him. The Dodgers have been reported to have some interest, as well as the Brewers, but I think the Cubs are going to hold onto Maddux for the rest of the year. This has been a tumultuous season for the Cubbies and they need to keep Maddux to keep whatever good will they still have with the fans at Wrigley. This decision is based on business more so than baseball in this case. 7. Juan Pierre, CF, Chicago Cubs Maddux?s teammate on the other hand, could be on his way out if his value was a little higher at the moment. Pierre?s stock has gone straight down the toilet ever since he terrorized the Yankees on the base paths in the 2003 World Series and now he is considered nothing more than a below-average centerfielder. The Cubs traded away some quality prospect to get him and they would like some in return, which just isn?t possible, so the Cubs will probably sit on him for the time-being. 6. Craig Wilson, LF, Pittsburgh Pirates It is almost a certainty that Wilson will be traded by the deadline because his value is about as high as it will ever get and the Pirates don?t want an Aubrey Huff situation in a few years. Wilson possesses some good right-handed power, which has produced 13 home runs this year and a slugging percentage just a shade under .500. He could be headed to the Yankees or the Giants, where he could play some first base for them. 5. Ronnie Belliard, 2B, Cleveland Indians Once considered a major part of the Indians? franchise, Belliard has since fallen out of favor to some extent and is now probably the Indians? greatest trading chip. Belliard, 31, is hitting .290 this season with 44 RBI and is also a nice second baseman in the field. He will be traded by most accounts and it could land him with the San Diego Padres or the New York Mets. 4. Alfonso Soriano, LF, Washington Nationals If Soriano doesn?t get traded before the deadline, it won?t be because of a lack of talent or interest. Soriano, even through a position change, has showed that he is one of the top 10 players in the league talent wise and has general managers drooling at the thought of bringing him to their clubs. General Manager Jim Bowden is asking for a King?s ransom in return and one team who looks to have taken the lead in this derby is the Seattle Mariners. This one will be very interesting to watch unfold over the next week or so. 3. Livan Hernanez, SP, Washington Nationals Last year, he was in the running for the Cy Young for a while, but fell off at the end and it has continued this season, in which his ERA has hit 5.87. Still, Hernandez is the best starting pitcher who is definitely out on the market and will command many suitors if Bowden doesn?t try to play hardball with potential packages. If traded, he will probably land with one of the big powers, like the Yankees, Red Sox, or the White Sox. 2. Reggie Sanders, RF, Kansas City Royals Sanders will get moved without question by July 31st, but the real question is to where? The Yankees have shown the most interest and probably need that bat with the uncertainty of Sheffield and Matsui if they want to stay in the hunt through September. Other teams in the mix could be the Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Houston Astros. Sanders is a veteran who is still very useful and will bring playoff experience to whatever team ends up acquiring him. 1. Aaron Boone, 3B, Cleveland Indians Boone is also a definite to be moved because Cleveland is probably going to have a mini fire sale and Boone is blocking the path of stud prospect Andy Marte. Boone, like Sanders, is a quick fix guy who can provide timely hitting and above-average defense for a team looking for that extra player who has recorded clutch playoff hits (see: Tim Wakefield). Likely landing grounds for Boone appear to be the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Angels, and the San Diego Padres, who just released Vinny Castilla.
