If Quintana is traded, it will be for a heck of a lot more than Bickford/Hader/Santana type prospects. He's got a great contract and is a damn good pitcher. I would expect it to be a couple top 50 type prospects and more. You do know Hader is #33 and Bickford is #53 currently according to MLB? And Santana preseason 2015 was #73? And already playing on the ML team helping it? This is why I can't take offering up Santana in trade. Brinson has nothing approaching Santana's Ceiling. In the hypothetical, would you trade Brinson, Hader, and Bickford for Quintana? I didn't know that, but I don't really see Bickford as that level of 'elite' prospect. Hader, sure. I also think Brinson's ceiling is quite a bit higher than Santana's, but that's just my opinion, others may disagree. I'm guessing you do. Would I make that deal if the Brewers were on the verge of being very good for a few years? Easily. Quintana is worth that.
