I would go for (in order of need and…talent, somewhat):
1)Verlander
2)Felix Hernandz
3)Lester
4)Linceum (NL-Big Park?)
5)J. Upton
6)Ramize (only this low B/C of need, now)
7)Markasis
Mauer could be on the list but, we have no NEED for him, good L/H hitter and ok Catcher, with not much power…also long legs and avg. arm.

Verlander is two years from free agency, Greinks is three years. Is that too close to consider? Hernandez is also only two years away, same as Verlander; why isn’t he too close? I think they’ll all be roughly equally expensive, maybe not so much Greinke because he’s actually already under contract and the costs are known.

Pujols, yes – four to six years older than the others and VERY expensive. If money matters…

So much of his value is tied to catching which we all read mixed reports of his ability to do long term. He’s a great prospect purely based on his bat, but a lot of his “untradeable” nature is due to him being a catcher. Not having a better feel for whether he’s a catcher long term and sticking to the younger but proven players, I’d be at least tempted to add:

Adam Jones
Nick Markasis
Matt Kemp
Jon Lester
Adrian Gonzalez

I think I’d roll the dice on Montero over Hayward and other prospects based on the higher upside if he stays at catcher.

You wouldn’t trade Montero for Pujols right now? Seriously?
