Kershaw

Greinke

Dickey
Peavy
Lincecum
Vogelsong

Kershaw/Greinke is the easy #1/2. I personally would not look to acquire Dickey, Peavy or Vogelsong unless the price is right. The owner would likely over value them because of their big first halves. If I could get Lincecum for pennies on the dollar I would do it, but I wouldn't get carried away. His last start was against the Dodgers ... which is basically a AAA offense attempting to play HR Derby in the Grand Canyon. It's bad.

Offer up Aviles ... maybe Morse is he balks. Worth a shot/

He's really high on Austin Jackson. What would be a good 1-for-1 there? I asked for Greinke and he said no.

Austin Jackson is not going to get you an established elite player. He is having a good year but who knows if he can keep it up? Asking for Peavy for him would be do-able if you really believe in Peavy or that he will not get hurt at some point. I would not recommend doing that though.

That said, you have Bruce, Morse and Arod doing nothing for you right now as they are on your bench. Try offering Bruce for Greinke imo. You can start off by asking for Kershaw but I do not see that happening as the price will be way too high.

I agree try Bruce or Morse for his Greinke... See how that goes. But I agree with everything this guy said. Austin jackson will not get you a great pitcher in return you would have to trade him with one of your back end SP's to get one of his top pitchers and event that might not make him budge.

i agree with the comments. You might be able to get linecum for jackson. I am still a believer in lincecum can turn it around.

Kershaw
Greinke
Dickey
Peavy
Lincecum
Voglesong

One caveat: I don't know what to expect of Peavy in late August and September. The good news is that he's on a winning team and won't be shutdown because of anything minor. That could be the bad news as well, he hasn't pitched a full workload in a long time, and if he starts to struggle it might get ugly. Or he could be the workhorse that he was when he was healthy. I'd definitely roll with Peavy before Lincecum.
