Every year, glutton for punishment Dave Cameron publishes his "Trade Value Rankings," which attempt to analyze which players from the minors and majors have the most trade value on the open market. One of the big factors is how good the player is right now, of course, but there are other questions. How good can he be? How much is he making? How long is he under contract?
In the list, the Giants have three players in the top 50: Joe Panik (#48), Buster Posey (#18), and Madison Bumgarner (#16). I think that's higher than Panik ranked last year and let me check yeah that's right.
