Cal League Condensed: 8/1 Preview

Hardly anything happened at the trade deadline to affect the Cal League. Bakersfield picked up Christopher McGuiness in the Jarrod Salalamacchia trade, and he's been having a very good year in the South Atlantic League. This is the last full month of the season. I debuted a new feature on the side bar that shows how the playoffs would look if they started today. Obviously I hope to update that every day.
