Soto is easily at the top of that list. A young catcher that shows patience and power at the plate? Teams would kill to have him.
Marmol would be up there again because of age. Lilly and Lee because they are proven producers with only a year left on their contracts. Then Gorzelanny. He's young, cheap, and may have found his groove again. Also, a lefty with strike out ability is well sought after. I would possibly argue he has more value than Lee or Lilly.
The financial commitment that comes with Dempster and Silva really drives their values down. Dempster I feel will be more valuable to keep than to trade. Silva still might draw a decent return because he only has one year left after this one and he's one of the best pitchers in the NL right now.
We have some prospects that I think would be valuable in packaged deals, but I think the point of the thread was to pick out veterans, correct?
