The only prospects I'd be comfortable giving up are in the AA, and AAA rosters mostly. I'd be pissed if any of Snydergaard, Sanchez, Osuna, or Nicolino are dealt.
As for guys like Gose and Marisnick, if you can trade them for someone legit now regardless of their position, you should look at it. We have a ton of depth in the upper part of the system for outfielders, but we have even more in the lower part coming up, from Anderson, Knecht, Alford, Davis, Smith etc so we can deal from our other area of depth to fill a need elsewhere.
Another thought is to possibly have Travis D'Arnaud become the 1B moving EE to DH. It would be saving his knees and preventing an injury prone player from being more so. I'd only be in favour of that type of move for next year if we got someone like Josh Hamilton to be the LF though to boost the overall output of those two positions
