Triunfel warming up with the bat is one of my favorite things to see.  He's my #1 piece of desired trade bait.  I want to see what I can get for the former top hitting prospect in the org at a glove position who is "now finally healthy and with good attitude." 
Because I don't want Triunfel.  I've heard enough horror stories about his attitude, and suffered enough with Jose Lopez and his fear of walking.
Seager (2B/3B), Poythress (1B/LF) and especially Triunfel (SS/2B) are all upping their trade value.  Us promoting Peguero (LF) a couple of times might help his too.  Danny Carroll (CF) probably won't have enough trade value yet but his ridiculous start to the season has been great too.  Now if only he can cut down on the Ks...
We don't have a lot of arms that are helping their cases, especially starters, but we're scraping together some trade bait even as many of our players struggle in the minors (Franklin's last 10 games...ouch.  And he's missed a few games nicked up with injuries already on 2 different occasions.  Tenbrink's swing changes?  Disastrous).
We still have a lot of work to do overhauling this team, so every piece we're not gonna use on the big club but still has value needs to be leveraged. 
Blash, btw, is one of my eagerly anticipated bats.  For a US college bat he's very raw, with a ton of potential.  I'm glad to see his batting eye starting out so well.  We'll see how he does over the season, but I'm really glad to see it.
When Everett's season starts and Choi shows up as their catcher (fingers-crossed) that'll be another bat working his way up. Though not one I want to trade!
