Best Prospect Your Team Recently Traded Away?

[Codasco07]

Seeing Haren pitch always makes Sam Banks and I wish he was still with the Cards. I was a fan of the Mulder trade at the time, but man our rotation would be stacked. Haren doesn't exactly fit the mold of player I'm looking for though because he appeared in the MLB for the Cards. Off the top of my head, here's some I can think of:

Mets: Kazmir
Red Sox: Hanley
D-Backs: Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Anderson (Carlos Quentin is a near miss)
A's: Ethier
Dodgers: Carlos Santana
Expos/Nats: Sizemore, Cliff Lee
Marlins: Adrian Gonzalez
Rangers: Chris Young (Pitcher)

I'm sure there are a lot I'm forgetting about. I know Jason Bay was in the Padres' and Expos' systems before appearing in the big leagues for the PIrates, but I don't remember who he started with.

You can add to the list:
Giants: Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano

 

[stu]

John Danks, Travis Hafner, Chris Young, Doug Davis, Adrian Gonzalez, and back in the day, Dave Stewart.

 

[hive17]

It's fine, becuase Doug Melvin seems to make things work and probably gets more steals/value than he uses, BUT:

Nelson Cruz, Dana Eveland and Michael Brantley.

 

[justwar]

Old school: John Smoltz
New school: Jair jurrjens

thanks a lot Braves

signed,
Detroit Tigers

 

[Halonut]

sean rodriguez, alexander torres and matthew sweeney for kazmir.

bobby jenks waived to make room on the 40 man roster for kendry morales...why they kept wil nieves, i will never know ::facepalm::

alberto callaspo for jason bulger

 

[Brett Keith]

Mariners: Shin-Soo Choo and Adam Jones are the most painful, but both of them actually played for the M's, only like 14 games for Choo, so Chris Tillman or Asdrubal Cabrera I guess.

sean rodriguez, alexander torres and matthew sweeney for kazmir.

It would have been cool to have Aybar and Callaspo on the same team. I wish the Angels would have given him a shot. I'm still hoping Callaspo gets traded to a contender this season.

Chris Young definitely played in the MLB for the Rangers. I remember seeing him twice against the Yankees, but other than that, that's a pretty good list.

Those were the first two that I thought of as well.

Padres- Jason Bay

 

[markakis8]

That trade just makes me wince every time I think about it and I despise the Braves.

Really can't think right now but I guess for the Orioles it would have to be Jayson Werth.

[yanksfan4eva]

Expos/Nats: Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips.....all three of them plus Lee Stevens for Bartolo Colon

 

[Codasco07]

Astros: Ben Zobrist

 

[markakis8]

Johan Santana too. Although he was Rule 5 draft but they still didn't protect him.

Astros: Ben Zobrist

Hanley.

chris young was in the Pirates minor league system

Dude was a mess back then
