Lockhart is my primary source for information regarding the farm system.  Her reporting is very thorough.  That is why I have Bishop in the “untouchable unless absolutely overwhelmed by an offer” category. 

So if she ranks Bishop #9 that means that SF has at least nine minor league players considered "untouchable unless absolutely overwhelmed by an offer" ?

I guess you can tell that I am not a big fan of trading top prospects, particularly at this time when the team’s core group of stars is nearing the end of their careers.
