What prospects would you be willing to part with?

I highly doubt the Braves make any trades, if so for a bat.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Cliff Lee. I would trade any prospect or young player not named Hanson, Jurrjens , Heyward, Freeman, Teheran, Arodys Vizcaino, Kimbrel, Venters. Would also include Kawakami and one of Melky/McClouth .
We still have some pieces to offer, like Schafer, Minor, one of Melky/McClouth, Bethancourt, Delgado,
Rohrbough, C Johnson, Kala Ka'aihue, DeVall.
Not sure if Braves would part ways with SS prospect Salcedo, the Yankees and Mariners were also pursuing Salcedo but he signed with the Braves.

At the highest a B grade prospect and lower grade prospects.
Cliff Lee would most likely be a rental for the rest of the season and we'll be able to look forward to draft pick compensation from the team that signs him. I doubt our ownership is willing to make the investment, and if they did they'd need to be sure we can make a real run at the World Series.
He also has performance bounces that are reachable that go as high as $2 million.

Why would he be a half yr rental ? Could free up money by getting rid of KK, and Chipper looks like he will retire at seasons end. If he does do the Braves still owe him that money ?
