With the strength of the San Diego Padres' minor league system, the organization faces many key personnel decisions come this winter. At the top of the list is the Chase Headley situation. He doesn't hit free agency until 2015, but his contract status requires much attention.



Excluding arbitration contracts, the Padres only have $21 million committed to their 2013 roster (not listed in link: the Carlos Quentin and Huston Street extensions), but the club must weigh the potential long-term value of their assets with the possible trade packages that they might receive from interested parties.



This list contains the Padres players who I believe provide the most amount of trade value given their situation on the team.
