However, what have Peraza and Hamilton done to make it on your untouchable list? If someone offered us a good deal for either of them, I'd cough them up immediately. The potential is high but god they are so incredibly frustrating when not hitting. And with as little power as they have, they are basically entirely reliant on consistently hitting singles to be worth their position in the line up. Considering both of them are hitting around .250, they just aren't cutting it as low power hitters. a .600 OPS is just absolutely dreadful and both of them have been around that number all year (and in their entire careers, really.)
Peraza is still young, so there's still hope for him, but Hamilton is turning 27 in a few months. He will cost a lot of money very soon and it'll be painful paying the price he'll receive for as little production as he provides.
I would love if we could trade Cozart and Feldman for anything of future value.
They are both ascending players with long-term team control. I think Hamilton has shown A LOT of improvement since his rookie year. His defense is the best in the league and his base stealing is too. I don't think he'll ever be a .300 hitter, he just needs to work on taking more walks. As far as Peraza, he's basically a rookie, you need to lower your expectations some.
