If We Buy...

[DirtyBird]

If we buy and have to give up young pitching prospects...

Pick 2 Untouchables and 2 Expendables from each group:

Group A
Akin
Hall
Sedlock
Wells

Group B
Hanifee 
Myers 
Lowther 
Peluffo 

Group C
Dietz 
Peralta 
Gonzalez 
Baumann
Bishop

I don't want DD to trade any of the O's prospects.

This exercise does not involve DD.

None of these guys really scream out to me as untouchables, to be honest. It would be stupid to trade them for a mediocre SP, but they are no more exciting than the Davies types we've traded before, IMO.

Good luck getting any actual answers to your OP on this one.

That's fine. If people want to continue to talk in the same circle about prospects we aren't going to get for our pieces that we are overvaluing, then they can carry on.

Group A are all untouchable for me.

Group B

Hanifeee and Peluffo are untouchable. The other two are tradable.

Group C 

Trade any of them

I could live with it if they trade any of Group B as long as its a non rental good starter. Group A is untradable

[Lucky_13]

Another question is who would you trade these guys for?

I'd see what the blue jays would want for Happ or Estrada 

Or see if the phillies are willing to part with hellickson and another young starter(then maybe I think about moving akin or sedlock)

[bpilktree]

I would have traded Peralta for Jaime Garcia which seems about what the Twins gave up to get him.

Of course, this is true and each group has a different caliber of expected return on a deal.

I just think that it is just as important to decide who the right guys are to deal, which has probably hurt us the most in our trades involving pitching prospects.

[bpilktree]

I would move Peralta for Chacin.  He is actually a guy I could see DD go after.  He won't cost too much and would be an upgrade for Ubaldo.

You have to include Tanner Scott on this list, teams are going to ask for him if the Orioles are buying.  

[ArtVanDelay]

We can't trade players that we just drafted.

Yeah, I think Hall gets swapped out for Scott.
