                                2013-24 Prospects – none

                Outfielders – J.B. Shuck (.333 – pre-ARB) – Mike Trout (.297 – pre-ARB) – Peter Bourjos (.267 – pre-ARB) – Josh Hamilton (.200 - $32.4mil thru 2017)

                DH – Mark Trumbo (.323 – FA/2014)       

Starters – C.J. Wilson (4.00 - $20.5 thru 2016) – Hanson (4.24 - ) – Jered Weaver (4.91 - $20.2 thru 2016 ) – Jason Vargas (6.75 – FA/2014) – Joe Blanton (8.59 - $7.5 thru 2014)

                                2013-14 Prospects – Nick Maronde (2013) – Daniel Tillman (2014)

                Observation – God knows this team could afford Buck.

The problem here is Iannetta and Trumbo. Either would have to hit a foul ball off their ankle and fracture it for any phone calls to go out to teams like the Mets.

                If that happened, the outfield prospects are for the picking, especially since their current outfield consists of three pre-ARB players and one long contract.

                A real long shot here.
