Our top prospects are untouchable at this point in time. No reason to move any of them.

Rios might be moved, but he might not bring back a package that is attractive enough for the Rangers to do.

Next year will be interesting, as I believe a middle infielder will be traded (One of Odor, Profar, Sardinas, Andrus, or Rua), most likely for a 3-4 type of pitcher.

Our needs for next year are mainly corner outfield and the back of the rotation. Maybe the DH as well, but Beltre and Fielder will more than likely platoon that role along with various minor leaguers. I always believe that the bullpen can be filled with guys from the minors.

Gallo for '15.

We are definitely stacked with MI prospects. Demeritte looks good and there are others as well. Odor and Profar, if we decided to move one, should net us more than a 3/4 type starter. Sardinas can be kept around as a UTIL guy. It's nice to see Rua sacrifice some power to become a more rounded hitter. He'll probably be included in some sort of package if we decide to move him.

What we do with Rios at the deadline may dictate how we approach next season. We could always move one of those MI guys to the OF or Gallo and make Beltre a 1B. We have a lot of options to consider. Should be a fun group to watch next season.

With that said, we definitely need another arm so we don't have to push Jackson or Gonzalez up before they're ready.
