Lester and Santana.
I think Verlander and Hamels are pretty legit and Danks and McGowan seem impressive to me, I don't know much about Parra and have never seen him pitch.
I would probably say Santana.Quote:

Wow, I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to target some HR/RBI production, but I'm pitching-heavy right now.
I'd like to target HanRam or Rollins in return for some of my pitching, and possibly package one of my light-hitting middle infielders of Theriot or Polanco.
Preferably, I'd like to sell Volquez while his value is high. I just don't see him repeating his 1st half success in the 2nd half. Harden is another one I'd think about selling while he's healthy. He's due to break down again at some point this year.
Volquez
Harang
Hamels
Galarraga
Harden
Kuroda
F. Cordero
Street
Papelbon
JP Howell
I'd see if you could deal Lester, then pick up Buchholz as a potential replacement (if he's available).Quote:

I'd love to sell Volquez, but don't know what kind of value I can get for him since no one wants to buy the top. Who would be the next to go off this list?
I traded Ervin and Ichiro for A Gonzalez, Posada and Mike Gonzalez.
Selling Wins is always a good idea...Quote:

I'm still thinking of either upgrading one of my relievers (have a guy who wants Ankiel/Torres for Papelbon, but I want to give Kotchman or Jackson) or dealing one of my bigger starters for a big bat and lesser pitcher.
Thoughts?
posada yikes....
I'd do Ankiel/Torres for Papelbon in a heartbeat. The Brewers are going to trade for a closer soon, thus rendering Torres valueless (see Rauch, Jon).Quote:

Monday afternoon I made a last minute deal...Thames for Mauer. The guy had Mauer and Pierzynski on the team and could obviously deal one.
Now...I have 4 closers. Koby (Cleveland), Torres, Brox and M Gonzalez. Who should I deal for a bat or SP? I agree with the Big Lebo, Torres is my first choice outside of Koby. But I have no bites.
I would move Broxton next. You're likely to get some very good production out of Gonzo. I don't think you're going to see too much interest in Kobayashi.Quote:
