He murders LHP for me. Guess I don't have any personal beef with him.

Probably a fantasy draft I would guess.

Ok so I am the Padres and have a loaded farm system through trading away some of my key players like Headley, Quentin etc and here is what I am left with. I would like to make some deals happen.

Age: 22. Overall: 57. Pot: A. Pos: CP
Age: 23. Overall: 68. Pot: A. Pos: RF/LF/CF
Age: 20. Overall: 75. Pot: A. Pos: 2B/3B/SS.
Age: 24. Overall: 62. Pot: A. Pos: SP
Age: 20. Overall: 66. Pot: A. Pos: RF/LF/CF

Plus I just drafted these guys in the amateur draft.

Age: 21. Overall: 65. Pot: A (92). Pos: SP. MLB ETA: 2016.
Age: 18. Overall: 55. Pot: A (99). Pos: 2B. MLB ETA: 2019.
Age: 19. Overall: 59. Pot: A (91). Pos: RF. MLB ETA: 2019.

So I got all these guys plus some B potentials here and there.

So here Giants are some players I am interested in, tell me what you think fits and what is some good value for it. Also I am willing to part with major league talent like Street, Josh Johnson, Luebke, Venable, Denorfia, Cabrera, Kennedy.

Bumgarner, Sale, Ryu, Harvey, Cole, Cosart, Price, Matt Moore, Rosenthal, McCutchen, Carlos Gomez, Jay Bruce, Castro, Yelich, Heyward, Justin Upton, Minor, Teheran, Alex Wood, Altuve, Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Hosmer, Holland, Salvador Perez, Machado.

Standings are as follows. (GB = Games back).

NL West
Diamondbacks: 37-23
Dodgers: 35-25 (2.0 GB)
Padres: 32-26 (4.0 GB)
Rockies: 27-31 (9.0 GB)
Giants: 26-33. (10.5 GB)

NL Central
Cardinals 36-24
Brewers 32-27 (3.5 GB)
Cubs 28-29 (6.5 GB)
Pirates 26-31 (8.5 GB)
Reds 23-34 (11.5 GB)

NL East
Nationals 33-24
Mets 30-28 (3.5 GB)
Braves 29-29 (4.5 GB)
Phillies 28-29 (5.0 GB)
Marlins 26-33 (8.0 GB)

AL West
Angels 29-28
Athletics 29-29 (0.5 GB)
Mariners 29-29 (0.5 GB)
Rangers 29-29 (0.5 GB)
Astros 28-31 (2.0 GB)

AL Central
Tigers 33-24
Twins 27-30 (6.0 GB)
Royals 27-32 (7.0 GB)
Indians 22-38 (12.5 GB)
White Sox 22-38 (12.5 GB)

AL East
Blue Jays 38-21
Rays 33-27 (5.5 GB)
Red Sox 29-29 (8.5 GB)
Orioles 28-29 (9.0 GB)
Yankees 23-34 (14.0 GB)


Now I know this is a really long list and most are really high profile players but I just tried to list everyone I would be interested in. I have a lot of great minor league talent to deal along with some respectable major league talent. I am willing to send 3 A potentials or whatever. If anyone wants to help me come up with some deals I would greatly appreciate it!

I'd go CarGo in the deal

I'd trade Barney and ride Valbuena at 2B until you can recall Baez/Alcantara to replace him. Or play Bonifacio at 2B and find another CF option. Either way, Barney should be the first to leave.

Agreed

Not a lot of realistic trade targets on your list meaning a lot of them are franchise cornerstones and/or untouchable.

Only one that could be fairly realistic is Andrus and Feliz from the Rangers. I'd say two of your A prospects plus 2 B's

Don't you think if a team was out of contention they would trade one of those players for 3 A potential prospects?

On top of that list of players I just drafted these 3 in the amateur draft.

Age: 21. Overall: 65. Pot: A (92). Pos: SP. MLB ETA: 2016.
Age: 18. Overall: 55. Pot: A (99). Pos: 2B. MLB ETA: 2019.
Age: 19. Overall: 59. Pot: A (91). Pos: RF. MLB ETA: 2019.

So who do you think are some players I can target with my top prospects?
