The only player who I just don't see the Giants parting with is centerfielder Gary Brown who is being groomed as the centerfielder of the future.
Other than Brown, teams like the Astros, Royals, Cubs, Mets and Mariners will have plenty of options to consider when on the phone with Brian Sabean.
Here is a list of some of the Giants' most attractive targets for sellers at the deadline:
1. Zack Wheeler P (considered the Giants top pitching prospect, could be packaged in a deal to land a big bat)
2. Brandon Belt 1B (Has shown tremendous ability at the plate in the minors but hasn't matched success in SF)
3. Heath Hembree RP (A flame-throwing closer for class A San Jose, Hembree may be the best prospect in the pen)
4. Chris Dominguez 3B (Power hitting third baseman led the nation in homeruns in college)
5. Eric Surkamp P (Strong minor league numbers will likely lead to calls from teams who can't get Wheeler)
6. Francisco Peguero OF (Speedy outfielder could be the leadoff man of the future for a rebuilding team)
7. Hector Sanchez C (Already seen a brief stint in San Fransisco; could be the future for the Giants if Posey goes to 1B)
8. Thomas Neal OF (Has shown power and ability to hit for average in the minors; currently in AAA)
9. Charlie Culberson IF (Versitile infielder has shown good pop with the bat down on the farm)
10. Ryan Verdugo P (Drafted late but has put up great numbers in his first few seasons on the mound)
11. Tommy Joseph C/1B (Probably not going to stick at catcher but his bat will find him a spot on the field)
12. Ehire Adrianza SS (Slick fielding shortstop needs to prove he can hit; glove and arm are major league ready)
13. Steve Edlefsen RP (Another hard throwing reliever could be a closer in the future for the right team)
14. Jarrett Parker OF (Tall and lanky outfielder has pop and a plus arm, still being groomed in class A San Jose)
15. Roger Kieschnick OF (Has been up and down offensively in the minors, stuck behind a long list of outfielders)
