The List of Untouchables expanded



Let's not include either of these guys in any trade discussions either. They are now officially added to The Slav's List of Untouchables, since Brian Sabean seems to have a top secret list.



So for now the list includes: Brandon Belt, Zach Wheeler, Gary Brown, Eric Surkamp and Heath Hembree.

Keith Law identified Heath Hembree as a sleeper prospect and I can see why. Looks like straight cheddar, so he will have to develop a secondary pitch. But Hembree has future closer written all over him.

Hembree is a 6-4, 210 RHP Drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 5th round of the 2010 MLB June Amateur Draft from Coastal Carolina. Hembree was recently elevated to AA so we shall see soon enough if he has what it takes to make an impact, if not late this year, certainly by 2012.

Surkamp is a 6-4,190 LHP Drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 6th round of the 2008 MLB June Amateur Draft from North Carolina State. Surkamp is 8-3 with a 2.00 ERA with AA Richmond. He is described as a finesse lefty who rarely cracks 90MPH on the fastball, but just gets guys out. His K-Rate is very high for someone who doesn't crack 90.
