As the calendar flips to July, we are now just a month away from baseballs trade deadline. Players such as Julio Teheran, Danny Valencia and Jay Bruce will no doubt become hot topics of conversation over the next few weeks, but the big-name pitchers and hitters are not the only way teams can improve their rosters. In fact, several contenders have significant defensive holes on their rosters, and many of them could make dramatic improvements to their playoff chances with the right glove. Here are five such teams and some of the players that could ease their defensive woes.Detroit Tigers Defensive hole: Right field To replace: J.D. Martinez (injured)Martinez was having a great offensive season for the Tigers in right field, hitting .286/.358/.520 with 12 homers in his first 65 games, but an elbow fracture that he suffered colliding with the outfield wall will keep him out of action for another month or more. That injury puts the Tigers in a precarious situation. At 40-38, the team trails the World Series-champion Royals and red-hot Indians in the loaded AL Central, but with an aging roster, they really dont have much choice other than to continue to compete and try to add players to make up for their losses. Nike Air Max 97 Canada . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. Nike Air Max 360 Canada . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. http://www.clearanceairmaxcanada.com/air-max-thea-canada-sale.html . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Jimbo Fisher said there is no divide in Florida States locker room after a 3-2 start, and he called former players criticisms of the 2016 teams dedication disappointing.The 23rd-ranked Seminoles lost as a double-digit favorite to then-unranked North Carolina 37-35 on Saturday after the defense allowed a 23-second, 38-yard game-winning drive to the Tar Heels as time expired. Moments earlier, the offense had scored on its fourth consecutive drive to take a 35-34 lead.This team will never split offense and defense. Thats why we have the locker room set up [alternating offensive and defensive players]. We have offensive and defensive guys room together, Fisher said Monday. We do all that because thats the biggest division that can ever happen, and that will never happen and it hasnt happened here yet and it never will.After Saturdays loss, Dalvin Cook, who totaled 246 yards and three touchdowns against North Carolina, said the end of the game was out of the offenses control but called it a team loss.All we can do is control the offensive side of the ball and go out and get a touchdown and thats what we did, and to put the defense in the best situation. We just have to execute a little better, Cook said Saturday.Senior defensive end DeMarcus Walker, who had a sack Saturday and is third nationally with 6.5 this season, said he can only contribute so much. Im trying my best. I can only do so much, he said Saturday. My mom was talking to me earlier in the week and she said I put too much on myself. But at the end of the day Im only human. We just got to execute better.Fisher said neither player is pointing fingers, but rather theyre acting as team leaders.[Cook] said We can control what we can control on offense and we scored, but we win as a team and lose as a team. Were not pointing fingers. Dalvins as big of a team guy for the defense as anyone on this team, Fisher said. You do all you can do. Every player has to look at that. Its not finger-pointing. You get frustrated because you dont get the results. It doesnt mean you quit, but Im going to call someone else out. You call someonne else out in practice.ddddddddddddYou think [quarterback] Jameis [Winston] and [linebacker] Telvin [Smith] didnt have that issue going on -- guys in practice getting called out? Like Hey, youre not doing your job so Im calling you out. Thats what leadership is -- pulling it out of you. Leadership isnt standing out front and talking to yall. Leadership is all done behind the scenes. Thats what happens on all football teams.Fisher also addressed former players questioning the heart and mindset of the 2016 team, which was expected to compete for a conference and national championship.Former Seminoles cornerback Greg Reid tweeted, Just because we lost doesnt mean we need to change anything! Point blank period we dont have HEART. Chris Thompson and Jacobbi McDaniel also criticized the effort. All played under Fisher.This team has heart, Fisher said. Its funny for a player who has played -- guys never know whats on a team until youre on a team. And for an ex-player to do that is very disappointing. You can never judge whats in a guys heart until you know him and you play with him.Much of the frustration stems from a defense that is among the worst nationally in almost every important statistical category. The Seminoles are 115th in scoring, allowing 42.3 points per game. Their yards per play average of 6.98 is 125th, and theyre second to last in yards per attempt at 9.4. The 63 points Louisville scored earlier this season was the most on a Florida State defense ever.The defense has allowed 177 points through five games. The 2013 national championship defense allowed 170 all season.Changes have already been made to the defense, but coordinator Charles Kelly will continue calling plays.Weve made scheme [changes], moved personnel, moved guys around, moved them in the last game to different things and well continue to do that and evaluate in all phases -- how we coach them, what were doing schematically to personnel and all things, Fisher said. Weve done it on offense already. ' ' '
