Who is a prospect you hope isn’t traded…

[Sports Guy]

…that is outside our consensus top 5 guys?

There are some international guys that I would rather not trade but putting them to the side, I think the one guy I would rather keep out of everyone else would be McDermott.

Beavers is probably a close second.

Ortiz.  Not a difficult question.  He's the sixth guy.  Everybody else is a lesser prospect and thus less valuable.

I’ll go with a tandem just to say it…McDermott and Johnson. I want to see what Mancini brought back.

THIS THREAD IS A TRAP!

 

Me: I don't want to trade player X.

OH: YOU CAN"T GET GOOD PLAYERS WITHOUT TRADING TALENT

 

Nope, not playing, not happening.

This is just a joke @Sports Guy

Luis De Leon. He might never make it because he’s pretty far away, but arms like his don’t grow on trees.

[Orange]

Seth Johnson. (Almost said Enrique Bradfield Jr. because I'm just so intrigued by him.)

Yea DeLeon is definitely one of the Intl guys I don’t want to see moved.

I'll go Beavers. I think he's primed for a big year in '24.

I took it to mean in relation to value... In other words, if we could get a top SP for a package that includes Ortiz, do you do it? Meanwhile, you can't get much for a Johnson or Bradfield today, so you'd be wasting what they might possibly become to trade them for something marginal.

Such an odd answer.(or at least an odd reasoning)

So, ranking is all that matters?  Age, upside, positional need in org, etc…that is all behind just an artificial ranking that not everyone agrees with?

No, it literally means what it asks. Who is a prospect outside of our top 5 that you hope isn’t traded.  Nothing more to it than that.

I'm assuming the "obvious" ones are out of the question...outside of that, the ones I'd like to NOT see traded are pitchers. Given our pitching prospect depth is not that great, I would hope the deals come from the strength so that leaves the likes of McDermott, Povich, etc. Of course, that's not to say I wouldn't trade one of them in the right move.

I like the Seth Johnson answer, seems like some real high end potential we need to see what we have in him 

[banks703]

The two guys outside of the top 5 who I would be most disappointed to see dealt would be Joey and Seth Johnson. 

That said, I would rather deal Joey if he is again going to be stashed in Norfolk in 24 as he is aging-out of prospect status at this point.

You don't think Ortiz is our sixth best prospect?
