After these two massive trades...Detroit has a lot of bats on the squad. I've got some different potential combinations for lineups, but some quality guys could be dealt:
Torii Hunter: ageless wonder. Good sim for the season (.287/.325/.427 14 HR VG arm in RF) and solid start in real life: .333/.355/.529 4 HR 20 RBI in 25 games
Stephen Piscotty: Top 3 Cardinals prospect and top 100 guy. RF with a VG arm in the sim and only 23. Has a usable offensive projection (.266/.318 10 HR 10 SB in 120 G)
Chris Carter: Mighty as an oak tree. Ex/Ex power. Had a nice little streak last week in real life, but slow April. Always a 30-40 HR potential guy. Ex stealing!
Pedro Alvarez: Kinda monitoring the situation with him. As I wrote up on my blog, he could make the leap this year. Ks are down, walks are up and he's got 8 HR. Things looking up.
Matt Davidson: 23-year-old 3B. Slow start in AAA, but another ok projection for such a young guy. Another top 100 bat. .236/.312/.410 21 HR 68 RBI. Av/ defense at 3B.
No real deal set in my mind, but I do have a lot of depth offensively and wouldn't mind looking at an offensive or pitching upgrade, if it's out there.

Couple inquiries, especially into Piscotty and Davidson, but nothing done yet.
Also willing to toss out Jose Altuve after the acquisition of Pedroia. He's a guy I love, but a leadoff DH is weird. It may work, but if I can manage to deal speed and a rare position for an offensive upgrade, I'll dance.
