Deciphering who will be on the trading block for the Angels is a tough one. Depending on who they decide to trade with or for will make a difference but here are a few possibilities.

1. Grant Green is a possibility. He has flexibility in the positions he can play, left field, second base and third base. The 26-year old is currently hitting .324 and would be helpful to any team that needs both offensive and defensive help.

2. Although 30-year old third baseman David Freese is only hitting .240 this year, he has been picking it up lately. He is a former All-Star and has a career .280 batting average. A team looking for a third baseman would be hard pressed to pass him by given his past success and the fact that he has been batting better now than in the beginning of the season. He also will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2015 season.

3. Collin Cowgill would be a good trading piece for the Angels. He can play the entire outfield with ease. The 28-year old is having the best season of his career offensively batting .287 so there should be teams interested in him for his diversity on the field and hot bat.
