The proverbial Hot Stove is starting to heat up, as teams are showing more activity heading towards the July 31st trade deadline.

In the latest roster movements, the New York Highlanders sent reliever Jim Fairbank (#36 overall ranked prospect) to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for veteran pitcher Bill Whitrock. This trade makes no sense for me, as the Highlanders don't add any meaningful value to the rotation and they are giving up a very promising prospect. On a rather selfish note, I was in talks with the Highlanders to land Fairbank but my delay in pulling the trigger caused me to miss out. This really frustrates me!

The other trade of the day saw the Detroit Tigers send pitcher Tad Quinn (#41 overall ranked prospect) to the New York Giants for pitchers Ed Fisher and Kaiser Wilhelm. On balance this one makes some sense, as the Tigers get some rotation help while the Giants get a solid prospect in Quinn.
