Five For The Hot Stove

They won't be traded before July 31, but here are five big-name candidates to be moved during the off-season

TRADING BLUE CHIPS?

Miguel Tejada , SS, Orioles
The Angels --who along with the Astros and the Tigers have recently made inquiries--are loaded with prospects, including shortstops Brandon Wood and Erick Aybar , but it won't be easy to talk O's owner Peter Angelos into taking anything less than proven, major league players.

Vernon Wells , OF, Blue Jays
Wells would love to play in his boyhood home of Arlington . Jays want to keep him, but he has only a year left on his contract. If the Rangers offer an every-day player (say, Gary Matthews Jr. or Hank Blalock ) and young arms (John Danks, Thomas Diamond), a deal isn't out of the question.

Miguel Cabrera , 3B/OF, Marlins
He doesn't appear to fit in with manager Joe Girardi 's hustling bunch and is eligible for arbitration. The Angels (Wood, Howie Kendrick , Mike Napoli ) and the Dodgers ( Andre Ethier , Russ Martin, Matt Kemp ) have the abundance of cheap, young talent that Florida would want.

Cesar Izturis , SS, Dodgers
One scout calls him " Omar Vizquel with an arm," but with Rafael Furcal playing short in L.A. , Izturis is underemployed at third. The Rockies, Reds, Brewers and Devil Rays will be among the shortstop shoppers this winter. A good, second-tier prospect is all that it should take.

Aaron Rowand , OF, Phillies
Shane Victorino , 25, has impressed the Phils with his speed in center and ability to make things happen offensively. White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf adores Rowand, who could return to his roots for a middle-of-the-rotation starter such as Javier Vazquez .
