The "Original" 24 TKL

I have well over 20 players that I'd like to keep, in a perfect world.

My plans involve keeping both Yu Darvish as well as Jarrod Parker, but I would entertain trades for these guys, especially Parker (who is trying to come back after 2 TJ surgeries and a fractured elbow last spring). Not asking much for Parker (picks only please), but I would want a lot for Darvish, who figures to come back strong in May 2016.

I also have Tom Wilhelmsen, who doesn't look like a good card in 2015.

I also have the following list of players who could be available for picks:

Hitters:

Scooter Gennett
Chris Owings
Lonnie Chisenhall
Ryan Flaherty
Cliff Pennington
L.J. Hoes

Pitchers:

Joe Kelly
David Carpenter
Seth Maness
Vic Black

I'm not necessarily cutting all of these - I might keep one or 2 of Gennett, Owings, Chisenhall or Flaherty.

Picks only, please. Thanks, if you're interested!

Medina
Qualls
McGowan
Jenkins
Holt
Hunter
Rosales
Collmenter
Carter
Porcello
Saunders
Niewenhius

Promotions:
Conforto
May

I am offering up Gio Gonzalez or Josh Hamilton for draft picks.

That said here are my initial cuts

Josh Hamilton (unless traded)
Carlos Ruiz
Redi Brignac
CoCo Crisp
Arismendy Alcantara
Robbie Grossman
Kyle Lobstein
Nefatali Feliz

I am going to identify cuts, whether definite or preliminary, in red type in the Googledoc. Prospect promotions will be in yellow type. Once we have passed the deadline for cuts, I will remove the cut players from rosters, move the promoted players onto the active roster, and upload available players lists to the doc.

My tentative cuts:
Kennys Vargas
Adam LaRoche
Travis Ishikawa
Omar Infante
Jimmy Paredes
Endy Chavez
Danny Duffy
Odrisamer Despaigne
Brandon Gomes
Jordan Walden
Vidal Nuno

Promotions:
Henry Owens

Players I could move:

Austin Jackson: $1.19 - 3(0)e6 LF/CF/RF.
Alijandro De Aza: $2.47 3(0)e4 in LF/RF, 4 in CF. Nice looking card vs RHP.
Josh Rutledge: 2B/SS (not good at either, but does look to be able to hit some)
Daniel Robertson: 2(0)e7 in LF, 3 in CF/RF
Brad Boxberger: Closer
Trevor Cahill: $1.83 - S5/R3
Tony Cingrani
CC Sabathia

Most can be had cheap, but I would want a little more for De Aza, Jackson, or Cahill who I will probably keep if I dont move.
