Ok let me break this down. I have done a lot of studying other teams, and needs, and who is buying and what they want and this is the scenario I would like to see.......also would like to see some of your idea scenarios also TRADE 1: John Axford, Francisco Rodriguez, and Mike Gonzalez to the Atlanta Braves for Prospects J.R. Graham (RHP) and Christian Bethancourt © J.R. Graham RHP Has all the tools to be a great starter; is a groundball pitcher that is agressive and can reach 97 mph with his fastball. I believe he has a high ceiling and is a fantastic athlete. the Braves need bullpen guys bad with Jonny Venters and Eric O'Flaherty done for the season, so Ax K-Rod and Mike gonz would be welcome additions Christian Bethancourt C Maldonado is not in the future plans; he is a defense first catcher but he really isn't that fantastic on defense ......Christain Bethancourt is a defense first catcher that is fantastic at it he has a cannon for a arm and blocks the plate with the best of them and with good coaching his hitting could become solid because he does have a nice swing TRADE 2: Yovanni Gallardo to the San Francisco Giants for prospects Chris Stratton (RHP) and Joe Panik (IF) Chris Stratton RHP The Giants need a starting pitcher bad right now and I believe they will make a major push for Gallardo. with Chris Stratton, the Brewers will get a pitcher with very good stuff. he throws a slider curve and changeup all very well to go along with his 94 mph Fastball (Sounds like Yo from 2 Years ago). the good part about it is he will be Major league ready in a year or two max Joe Panik IF A left handed IF that can play SS and 2B and I'm sure he could pick up 3B with the right coaching. with as many right handers we have in our lineup a good utility lefty would be nice to have in the future. he isn't a power guy but he makes great contact and rarely strikes out and draws a lot of walks
