What would you get for Suzuki and Duensing?

With Yadier Molina out till the playoffs the Cards are looking for a catcher badly and with the Cards lack of lefties out in the bullpen this year my question is what could we get from the Cardinals for Kurt Suzuki and Brian Duensing?

Sweetspot wrote about this a few weeks ago - IIRC, he said the Twins could start by asking for Piscotty or Kaminsky (two of their top three prospects) and maybe go down a bit from there. I would think Suzuki would bring back someone in another teams 5-10 prospect range. Cards have a pretty solid system and are a bit OF heavy, so we might get someone James Ramsey who isn't going to be a star but should do a lot of little things right.

Suzuki for Ramsey sounds good. could we get a 10-20 prospect for Duensing?

Could we get a 10-20 prospect for Duensing?

I doubt it. He's sorta expensive, not overly good and lots of pitchers like him around. We got Brian Fuentes for Van Der Mil (sp) a few years back - he was maybe a top 30 prospect in our system at the time.

I would take Jon Jay, his name was mentioned in another thread and the Cards have excess OF'ers. He is a better player career wise than Fuld, younger and still a couple years of control. Could fill center until Buxton comes up and move Fuld to the 4th OF spot where he fits better. It would also mean no infielders or Parmalee playing CF which is a good thing imo.

By including Duensing you can get anything your heart desires.

Could that include Duensing himself?

 

Or did I just create some kind of Duensing's Paradox?
