the 6 untouchables
I know there are no untouchables, but what if you were GM and another GM said you can have my stud (for example) player if I can pick any guy from your farm system except for 6 untouchables, who would they be as of 06-04-10.
mine are: Wood Alonso Chapman Klinker Mesoraco Y Rodriguez |

Re: the 6 untouchables
I'm not sure I have any untouchbales right now other than Chapman. Maybe Mesoraco and Soto, but other than that? Everyone is tradeable.

Re: the 6 untouchables
Chapman's the only untouchable for me.

Re: the 6 untouchables
I agree with the others. I say Chapman, Y. Rodriguez and maybe Mesoraco.

Re: the 6 untouchables
Yeah other than Chapman, pretty much anyone in the minors is a trading chip to make the major league team better right now.

Re: the 6 untouchables
As for untouchables my list is short
Chapman Mesoraco Rodriguez There are several guys who I would be hesitant to trade due to either being young, playing a position of need, or a combination of young and very high ceiling (but also very low floor). Cozart Hamiton Duran Alonso (as a LF) |

I only added Soto to my list because his value is kinda blurry because of the position swap. |

Re: the 6 untouchables
Chapman
Cozart Mesarasco Soto Yorman H. Rodriguez Joseph (can't be traded til Aug anyways) Hamilton (ditto) Each has a very important role over the next few years. Chapman is a Legit #1 starter. Cozart has a great glove, great base-running and a High OBP at SS. Mez is turning into a legit top 5 catching prospect in all of baseball. Soto has the potential to be even better at the plate. Yorman could become the best prospect in all the minors in 2 or 3 years. Joseph could be a future closer. Hamilton is a human tool shed.

Re: the 6 untouchables
I also believe the only 'untouchable' is Chapman. He projects as a TOR starter. No other pitching prospect does & no hitting prospect projects as an All Star (IMO).

Re: the 6 untouchables
The word untouchable to me implies five star major league talent.
Roster filler guys like Klinker, Wood & Cozart certainly don't fill that bill. I never get why folks chronically overrate their own team's prospects. Joey Votto is an untouchable. Jay Bruce maybe. Chapman certainly. Everyone else - can certainly be had for the right price. |

Re: the 6 untouchables
Majors: Votto, Leake, and Rolen
Not that I'd trade a bunch of the Redlegs, but these would be the three guys every single major league team could use right now, so they are my 5 star premium guys with Bruce right behind them. Minors: Chapman and Mesoraco Based upon potential and early season production these are my top two here. The next two would be Boxberger and Joseph but it's awful early to project on those two since they aren't even a year into their professional careers. |

Re: the 6 untouchables
Everything has its price. Including Chapman.
