When we last looked at the stock values of MLB's top projected trade targets roughly two weeks ago, I wrote about the volatility of the marketplace—and how a team's fortune (or misfortune) could change the composition of the marketplace.
So say goodbye to Chicago's Jeff Samardzija, as the streaking White Sox, winners of six consecutive games, have put themselves firmly back into the playoff picture—at least for the time being.
What I failed to mention, however, was that the fortunes of an individual player can do the same. Atlanta's Jason Grilli found that out the hard way, as he too has been removed from the market as it's been nearly a month since he's worked a clean ninth inning for the Braves.
You can be sure that when we revisit the marketplace in two weeks (this is a biweekly exercise), there will be more noticeable changes—both additions and subtractions. Of the players who remain, has anyone managed to raise his stock over the past week, which for our purposes, ran from May 12 to May 18?
Let's take a look.
