Notes: ASG, Draft, Marlins, Moves

All-Star, Draft, and Home Series Week...

Notes:

• Miami took two-of-three from the Bucs at PNC, post break. They're off to Chicago and a pair against the Cubs, then return home for the remainder of the week.
• The Bucs traded with the Mets for RHP Colin Holderman in exchange for DH Daniel Vogelbach. Holderman, 26, is controllable with two more options, and in 15 outings with the Mets was 4-0/2.04. Vogey hit .228/12 HR/34 RBI/117 OPS+. The MLBTR recap is here. Holderman was optioned to Indy, likely just to tread water until the roster is settled after deadline day.
• OF Greg Allen finished rehab and was called up; C Michael Perez was DFA'ed to clear the 40-man spot and sold to the Mets.
• Jason Delay not only pushed Michael Perez out of a job, but he smacked his first MLB dinger on Friday during his PNC Park debut.
• Don't expect RHP Roansy Contreras back soon; the Pirates plan to "build him up" before he rejoins Indy's rotation as they try to keep his inning count down - he worked just 75 frames last year, and he's at 70 so far this season.

• Ke'Bryan Hayes had his nine-game hitting streak end on Saturday. It was the longest streak for a Buc so far this year.
• The draft, day 2 - In the third round (#88 overall) the Pirates chose 21-year-old 3B/RHP Jack Brannigan from Notre Dame. He's a 3B by trade who also worked out of the Irish pen. Then they chose LHP Michael Kennedy, 17, out of Troy HS in the fourth round (#110 overall). He's committed to LSU. Georgia Tech OF Tres Gonzalez was taken next, followed by RHP Derek Diamond out of Mississippi. The seventh round choice was RHP JP Massey from Minnesota, and the eight round pick was LHP Cy Nielson of BYU, a long reliever. The last pair of picks for the day were RHP Mike Walsh of Yale and OF Tanner Tredaway out of Oklahoma. Tuesday concludes the draft with rounds 11-20.
• The draft, day 3 -  Here's the Trib's list of the guys selected 11-20 and the picks 1-20 per MLB.com's Draft Tracker. Overall, they picked a boatload of pitchers.
• Draftees signed: Campbell RHP Thomas Harrington: $2.05M, (slot $2,150,300): Florida LHP Hunter Barco: $1.525M (slot $1,776,100); Notre Dame 3B/RHP Jack Brannigan: $770,700 (at slot); BYU LHP Cy Nielson: $175,000 (slot $193,200).
• Locals make good: North Allegheny HS SS Cole Young was taken in the first round (#21) by the Mariners and C Matt Wood of Pine-Richland HS and Penn State was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fourth round. RHP Cameron Weston of Canon-Mac HS & Michigan was picked on the eighth round by Baltimore while RHP Tanner Jacobson of Allderdice HS & D-2 Queens University was drafted in the 10th round by the St. Louis Cards. SS Bryan Rincon of Shaler went on the 14th round to the Phils and SS Michael Turconi of Blackhawk HS /Wake Forest was taken on the 15th round by Toronto.

• Giancarlo Stanton and Byron Buxton went long back-to-back in the fourth inning at Dodger Stadium, and it was enough to propel the AL to a 3-2 win in the Midsummer Classic. David Bednar was the Bucs only rep, and he worked the ninth, giving up a walk amid three bouncers. Stanton was the MVP after his two-run blast. The night before, Juan Sota won the Home Run Derby, topping Julio Rodriguez.
