Matt Stroup and George Bissell consider some recent waiver wire options, including a surging Mallex Smith (17 steals since late May), a hot-hitting Keston Hiura (.308 with three homers in July) and Rays prospect Nate Lowe, who had five home runs in his last eight games at the start of this week. We also discuss whether Andrew Cashner is worth the risk now that he's with the Red Sox, what to expect from Daniel Ponce de Leon going forward and the outlook for fire-throwing Padres reliever Andres Munoz. Plus, why Emilio Pagan should be added immediately if he's still available in your league.
