Trading Block: Ohio

The Buckeyes still have a dearth of depth, but are top-heavy in quality catching prospects:

Guillermo Medina (#39 prospect)

Jean-Charles Gauthier (#49 prospect)

Mark Porter (#90 prospect)

My perfect trade would be prospect-for-prospect, so if you have an overabundance of infield talent and are lacking catchers, I'm all ears. Since those can be hard to pull of, I would also consider a package of a young-ish, controllable 3B and backend starter/bullpen help, since those are my immediate needs.

And since I'm sure someone will ask, Fred Kennedy (#2 prospect) isn't on the table unless you blow me away.
