I don't think he's asking who is untouchable, just who would be considered a "core" piece. Obviously Braun and Segura are core pieces. I see Lucroy as one, as well, though I'm not quite sure about Gomez. Not sure why OP would think Schafer, Maldonado, and Gennett are in everybody's future plans. Schafer, while he looks good and could very well end up a starter for the Brewers for several years, is still just a fourth outfielder - I wouldn't consider that a "core" player. Maldonado is a backup catcher. Gennett looks nice, I suppose, but there's nothing that special about him that would make him a core piece, either. And Francisco? What? Exactly what I'm talking about, obviously if the right deal comes along I am willing to trade anyone on the roster. However I see Braun Segura Gennett Schafer Gomez Lucroy Maldy and Peralta still on the team 3-5 years from now. anyone else on the roster I see as either moved or released. Francisco could make a decent bat bench if he can ever come around. bullpen is always changing. Bianchi possibly as a utility guy but they are a dime a dozen. Aoki possibly but it wouldnt suprise me if he was dealt. and I'm just talking guys on the major league roster. not the minors as that would obviously open up a lot
