Prediction: trade for a quality 3rd base prospect

[The Genius]

All of the guys mentioned by teach are untouchable in my book. Martinez has been mentioned as a 3rd base candidate. I don't know.
Lawton throws right, but he's too old to move to the infield. If there is no strike, and it is looking more and more promising, then I think Lawton and maybe Burks will be moved by Saturday night.

The question is, who do we give up? Is anyone in the farm system untouchable?

I'd say Brandon Phillips is.

How about Victor Martinez? Cliff Lee? I'd say not, especially if Bard continues to hit.

How about Matt Lawton. He's on pace to hit 20 homers, has a decent OBP, and frankly, I'd rather have Coco Crisp, Bradley, and Garcia in the outfield and not Lawton.

Why not try the guy (Lawton) at third? Or is his glove on the wrong hand?

Well, this topic was right on back then as well.
