Let's make a deal?

I've pretty well set my keepers for next season, so here are some others that might have some trade value.

Johnny Cueto (F1): Spent most of the year on the DL. Early reports say he should be healthy come Spring Training.

Ardolis Chapman (9th Round F2)

Koji Uehara (Undrafted): Picked him up for some holds, & he turned in to a fantastic closer

Ricky Nolasco (Undrafted)

Torii Hunter (19th Round): I actually traded for him intending to keep him for next season, but he ended up being the last cut.

Adam Eaton (15th Round): The Arizona Center Fielder, not the Chicago Strikeout machine. Traded for him too with the intention of keepering him. Another one coming off a disappointing year with injuries.

Couple more that people inquired about during the season (Logan Morrison, Yoenis Cespedes) don't have as much value IMO, but can be yours for a song.

My options; everyone available:

Brian McCann (C) - Undrafted - could be a really solid option at C especially if he goes to an offensive team
Pedro Alvarez (3B) - Drafted in 13th rd - big power numbers, semi-weak position
Evan Longoria (3B) - 17th rd keeper - one of the best players in the game, really cheap keeper cost, will take a great deal to get him
Adam Jones (CF) - Franchise 1 - no cost at all for a great overall talent, solid stats across the board
Dom Brown (LF/RF) - Undrafted - young stud realizing his potential, big power numbers, really cheap value
Nick Markakis (RF) - Drafted in 14th rd - consistent talent, solid value, can be had relatively cheap
Jonathan Villar (SS) - Undrafted - One of the best young talents in the game, and will be a game changer at SB
Desmond Jennings (CF) - 23rd rd keeper - guy just hitting his prime, potential 20/20, weak position

Addison Reed (RP) - Drafted in 7th rd - 40 saves on a shitty team, can only get better
Trevor Rosenthal (RP) - Drafted in 24th rd - became the closer on one of the best teams in the NL in the playoffs, young, could convert into a great starter
Patrick Corbin (SP) - undrafted - 14 wins on a pretty bad AZ team, close to a K/IP, WHIP just above 1, great value
Cliff Lee (SP) - 16th rd keeper - one of the best pitchers in baseball still, solid value, exactly K/IP, WHIP barely above 1
Jon Lester (SP) - Drafted in 8th rd - high value, but great pitcher on a great team, will win games, decent K-rate
Zach Wheeler (SP) - Undrafted - One of the best young arms in the game, almost untouchable due to value longterm
Homer Bailey (SP) - Drafted in 11th rd - Young pitcher just coming into his prime, will win games on a good team, solid K-Rate, just getting better
Jeremy Hellickson (SP) - 21st rd keeper - Another of the young Tampa pitchers that is just getting better, will have a rotation spot and will win games and strike people out
Kevin Gausman (SP) - Undrafted - Another of the best young arms in the game, probable rotation spot in Baltimore, great longterm value

I'll play along...

Neftali Feliz (17th round Keeper value)--Probable hotshot starter for Texas in 2014.
Josh Hamilton (13th round Keeper value)--Not as wonderful as he use to be, but still a value at this price.

All I'm looking for is three lower round picks for either player. Being perfectly honest...I have four Keepers who's value is between Round 21 and 23. I already don't have a 20th round pick. So all I want are picks between 20 and 23 to be able to place my Keepers and still have picks in the late teens. So yes, each of these guys is available for (for example) a 21st, 22nd and 23rd round pick--or some combination close to that.

Here's my list of players that are on the trade market and the round they were drafted in:

C.C. Sabathia (F1)
Jason Heyward (F2) (R8)
Jimmy Rollins (R6)
C.J. Wilson (R7)
Melky Cabrera (R9)
Tom Wilhemsen (R10)
Vinnie Pestano (R11)
Howie Kendrick (R12)
Billy Butler (R13)
Carlos Marmol (R14)
Justin Morneau (R15)
Edwin Jackson (R16)
Nelson Cruz (R17)
Brandon McCarthy (R18)
Zack Cosart (R19)
A.J. Griffin (R24)
Jorge De La Rosa (Undrafted)
Junichi Tazawa (Undrafted)
Tony Cingrani (Undrafted)
Andrew Cashner (Undrafted)


All my keepers are set so the only thing I'll except is draft picks. Asking for 1 to 2 low picks for any of these players!

Does hotshot starter mean late inning (non-closer) reliever?

Add Christian Yelich & Carlos Martinez to my list of awesome potential keepers. All available and all can be had relatively cheap compared to talent/value as I need to restock picks.

Want Lester...probably only cost you a pick in the 10-15 range because you'd have to use an 8 to keep him, but the value is worth it.
Want Lee...he'll cost more because his keeper value is so good. He'll cost something in the 6-10 range plus, but you'll have him at good value for at least 4-5 years.
Want Hellickson, Bailey, Reed, Martinez, Rosenthal...just send an offer.
Want Corbin...he'll cost more in a trade since it's a 25th round value, but we can talk escalation over multiple seasons if you want him.

Need bats? Same theory.
Adam Jones, Markakis, Dom Brown, McCann (in that homer heaven known as Yankees Stadium), Alvarez, Jennings...just send an offer and I'll listen.
