I'm looking to rebuild, and already have a young team as is. I'm not going anywhere this year so Felix Hernandez holds no real value to me so my question is are Chris Tillman and Carlos Carrasco enough to let him go, if not what should I counter with. Here is a quick list of all the minor league talent this guy has.
C Matt Wieters 1B Gaby Sanchez 2B Emilio Bonifacio SS Carlos Truinfel 3B Angel Villalona 3B Dayan Viciedo OF Greg Halman OF Mike Stanton OF Ben Revere OF Peter Bourjos SP Chris Tillman SP Carlos Carrasco SP Aaron Poreda SP Neftali Feliz
Felix Hernandez isn't exactly old. Hernandez is only one year older than Carrasco and two years older than Tillman, but he already has major league experience and has the stuff to be one of the best pitchers in baseball.
I do like Tillman, but I don't think it's enough for Felix Hernandez. I also don't think there is anything wrong in keeping Felix in a rebuilding team. He better give you Matt Wieters if you are trading him Felix Hernandez.

well i failed to mention that felix contract is only good for 2 more years where as all these prospects are good for 6 years.
personally i think you should always go for the victory early and then play it by ear and dump if need be, but i'll take your word for it that you have no shot this year and say adios to felix.i think an offensive cather like wieters is hard to resist. if you have good hitting go for two big arms like u said but i think i'd take wieters and an arm. carrasco over tillman.

Have to agree with everyone who said Wieters needs to be part of the deal, and I prefer Carrasco.
If you can get Wieters for Felix, that's a major steal for you based on years they can be kept. No one other than Wieters would get be appropriate like everyone has said.
