The SF Giants called up their top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt and he will start Monday night's game. This start could end up being an audition for other teams if the Giants try to trade Whisenhunt ahead of the July 31st trade deadline.

Whisenhunt has been viewed as an intriguing potential trade piece for some time. The left-handed starter has a filthy changeup and even though his stats in Triple-A have not been that strong the past two seasons, he does still have a lot of upside and is one of the top prospects in the organization.
