NL: Barry Zito, San Francisco. Are details really necessary? Well, he's only got five years after this one remaining on that seven-year, $126 million deal.

AL: Joe Borowski, Cleveland. How bad a season has it been? Well, there have been injuries and there have been indignities. Face it, three consecutive scoreless appearances allowed him to enter July with a 6.75 ERA, lowest it's been this season except for one day (4.50 after his second appearance). He's converted only six of nine saves. But then, it's been that kind of year for the Indians.

NL: Manny Corpas, Colorado. The second-half phenom who failed only once in 20 save situations after his mid-season insertion into the closer role a year ago, Corpas isn't even trusted with a setup role this season. Moved out the closer role on April 23, he has converted only four of 10 save opportunities. He's walked 17 in 40 innings after issuing only 20 walks in 78 innings a year ago.
