Kelly Johnson Traded for Hill/McDonald
Gambo tweeted that the D'Backs have traded Kelly Johnson to the Jays for 2B Aaron Hill and SS John McDonald.
McDonald might be the best fielding SS I've seen this year. Too bad neither one can hit, although Hill has had some success in the past.
Another Mid-Season Diamondbacks Prospect List - This One Goes to 31!

I had posted my mid-season list of the Diamondbacks' Top 31 Prospects at D'Backs Venom last week, but I thought it might be worthy of a FanPost since many there are a lot of prospect fans over here. My Top 10 is:
1. Trevor Bauer, RHP (20)
2. Jarrod Parker, RHP (22)
3. Tyler Skaggs, LHP (20)
4. Archie Bradley, RHP (18)
5. Paul Goldschmidt, 1B (23)
6. Matt Davidson, 3B (20)
7. Patrick Corbin, LHP (21)
8. David Holmberg, LHP (20)
9. Bobby Borchering, 3B/1B (20)
10. A.J. Pollock, CF (23)
I did include unsigned players such as Bauer, ABradley, and Chafin, since all indications are that they will sign with the Diamondbacks by the August 15 deadline. I probably should have ranked Anthony Meo a little higher, and Adam Eaton seems to be moving up the list on a weekly basis. All comments and feedback are appreciated. The full list of 31 (plus notes on each player) as well as another 20 players to keep an eye on can be found here:
