Trading away the future?

I keep seeing trade possibilities with people saying Posey, Villalona, Bumgarner, and Alderson (w/ random mentions of Guzman and Crawford) are the only ones off limits. But we have some other players kicking @ss I'd really hate to see go. Was wondering if I'm the only one apprehensive about getting rid of some awesome prospects. If they played last night I also included their stats:
Bowker: 1-4, batting .415 last ten games. Hitting .352 w/ 14 HRs
Roger Kieschnick (OF): 3-5, 2 HRs (15). He's 18 for last 38 (.474) w/ 6 HRs.
Thomas Neal (OF): 2-5, batting .342 this year w/ 13 HRs and 1.022 OPS
Garrett Broshius: W (6-1) 8IP, 1R (unearned), 4H, 5K, 0 BB
Daniel Runzler: 1 IP, 3 Ks. In 33.1 IP w/ August and SJ this year the dude has given up 11 hits, 2 ER, has 55Ks, and 14 BBs. Players are batting .099 against him
Are people really ready to move any of these for a player the likes of Uggla or Holliday??
Regardless of a trade, all of these players seem to be ready for a move to the next level.

and alot of these “awesome prospects” don’t look that awesome as they move up. Brandon Crawford is struggling at Connecticut, and last year you would have called Nick Noonan an untouchable.
Proud new dad of Edgardo errr Edgar Renteria!!!

BCrawford should not have been promoted so quickly. He still had been striking out a lot in San Jose. It was his first year in pro ball and he had less than 125 ABs
Most players that move to CT have a power lull. I think its the stadium.
Matt Cain's right hand beats a Royal Flush.

They ask WTF is wrong with him.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
I think the truth is somewhere between those two – there’s probably some interest in him, but he wouldn’t be the centerpiece of any deal and I doubt he’s the first player clubs ask about.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

If SF trades Fred Lewis there is a spot for Bowkermania in the City. Brohius can be had for a rosin bag. Runzler is at A+ San Jose and would rely on Tidrow’s advice whether to trade the fella.
Neal, Kieschnick would only be dealt in a big trade bringing back young talent.
Do not want Holliday.
If SF trades Fred Lewis there is a spot for Bowkermania in the City.
So Bowker can enter the Ort Cloud were Nate has been living most of this season tell Big Head started putting Lewis in the Ort Cloud thus forceing Nate back in to real world from time to time? No thanks. They need to clear some real play time so Bowkermania can get a prolonged look in a corner OF spot.

Broshius
Pay no mind to his stats.
He has absolutely no business being in single A. He was in AA last year, and did quite well (i think it was his second year at AA), and earned a promotion to AAA…or at least he should have.
For some reason, the giants feel like they have no space in AAA for him, though it seems like it’d be better to release a couple of the AAA starters, then have Broshius at A ball.

How they don’t have room in Fresno, when Matt Kinney is starting and Ramon Ortiz is the long reliever/spot starter, is beyond me.
Incidentally his name is apparently spelled Broshuis with a u-i rather than an i-u . Messes me up every time I try to look him up.

…and anyone who believes that Guzman is off limits, also believes in Aliens and the illuminati conspiracy.

I resent that.
I have no problems with the last 2 stances but the first one? Come one. That is like saying Big Foot is related a Giants starting pitcher. All right maybe #1 is more like saying the Dodgers aren’t Evil.

i haven’t read anywhere that Guzman is untouchable. nor should he be.

I think people are confused

Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?

If you hold onto every player who is at all good now or MIGHT become good in the future, you are basically saying you'll never trade anyone ever for any reason.
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit... Maybe.
And you are probably saying no one you have will be good because they will need playing time somehow and some were. The higher up the chain you go the less you can rely on incompetence to create ample playing time. Call iota secondary effect of Peters Principle if you will.

Broshius is old for his league and even if he has potential?
With all our pitching, he seems quite tradeable.
He has excellent potential as a long or short writer.

Have you been reading his diary this year? It’s really been pretty moving. On the day he does get his walking papers (or before that even) I hope someone talks to him seriously about getting a book deal. He’s definitely got a book in him about young life spent in the bus leagues, watching all his friends either pass him on the ladder or pass him on the way out the door. I’d read it.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
I might be wrong about this, but I would suggest that it may not be a good idea to declare a prospect “untouchable” based on what he does in a single game.
