Only a little bit of interest in one of Altuve (All-Star) and Pedroia (Perennial All-Star), so I'll toss a couple other guys out there.
Pedro Alvarez: At the halfway mark and he's still maintaining his career high bb rate and career low k rate. Problem is he's still only hitting .240. BABIP is a tad low, so hopefully he can get the average a little higher to go with his 15 homers by the break.
John Axford: RPs with solid sims, but I have a lot of these guys. I like the depth, but I can move one or both for a pick/prospect.
Eugenio Suarez: Happy birthday three days ago. The 23-year-old is doing a good job holding down the starting SS position on the best team in the AL Central. Playing above average defense and taking walks.
Norichi Aoki, Michael Bourn: Bourn's on the dl; Aoki just came off. Both solid defenders, fast, good average. I might not need both.
Kyle Kendrick: A good pitcher to have for depth. I've had to use him each of the last two years. With some added depth from trades, he's a guy I could deal. He's got a 4.25 or so sim projection. 29 years old.
Chris Carter: Quietly has more home runs than Goldschmidt, Bautista, Upton, Adam Jones and Chris Davis. Loudly has a .205 average, but walks 8 percent of the time. BABIP is .241, so that has to be somewhat of a factor. Still only 27, though facing challenges.
