Stats: .237 batting average, .292 on-base percentage, .380 slugging, 10 homers, 34 RBIs, 23 walks, 78 strikeouts, 80 games. Age: 35 Contract status: $7.25 million in 2011; free agent in 2012 Current market value: Fairly Low Potential fits: Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates. Skinny: Lee was traded by the Chicago Cubs to Atlanta in August of last year and improved some offensively with the Braves (.384 on-base percentage in 39 games) and provided solid defense. So there is a possibility the same type of move could happen this August and Lee could be dealt to a contending team that could use a bench bat, defensive replacement and calming veteran influence, if not a starting first baseman. Even so, the return would be minimal. Chances he's dealt: 30 percent

Stats: .279 batting average, .315 on-base percentage, .385 slugging, 7 homers, 31 RBIs, 11 walks, 36 strikeouts, 83 games. Age: 36 Contract status: $8 million in 2011 ($3 million deferred); free agent in 2012 Current market value: Low Potential fits: None at the moment Skinny: One scout said Guerrero could be traded in August because he is Guerrero, and a desperate team might hope to catch 'lightning in a bottle' with one of baseball's streakiest hitters. That risk would be based on past experiences and not current production. It would have to be an AL team since Guerrero is considered a DH only these days, unless a National League club wanted him solely as a pinch hitter (like Jim Thome with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2009). If a contender with a lackluster offense -- Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Los Angeles Angels -- suffered a key injury, Guerrero could be a fit once he demonstrates he's over the broken bone in his hand. Like Lee, getting someone to take Guerrero's salary may be a challenge. Chances he's dealt: 25 percent

Stats: 1-2, 5.66 ERA, 37 games, 35 innings, 42 hits, 17 walks, 31 strikeouts Age: Contract status: $6 million in 2011; free agent in 2012 Current market value: Low Potential fits: New York Yankees or any team with money to burn and lefty relief issues Skinny: One talent evaluator said you could file Gonzalez in the 'lefty and breathing' category. There's such a need for left-handed relief that Gonzalez, who has had a rough time in Baltimore, is probably one good stretch away from being dealt. The problem is he hasn't consistently had one of those stretches this year. Case in point: In eight of his last 10 appearances, spanning 6 2/3 innings, he has not allowed a run. In those other two games, he's allowed five runs in two innings. He is a seasoned veteran and has been good against left-handed hitters (.229 average in 70 at-bats) despite being awful against right-handers (.356 in 73 at-bats). So he'll pass through waivers and maybe someone takes a chance on him in August, but salary relief or a low-level minor leaguer is the best that can be expected in return. Chances he's dealt: 10 percent
