What farm are you referring to? Their system is for the most part devoid of real prospects (aside from Hanley Ramirez). I haven't kept track of their guys this year but Baseball America basically said that it was a joke going into this season.

I doubt Halladay is available, even if he is the price would be sky high. There is no way in hell that Webb is available. AZ has plans on him being the anchor of their rotation for years to come. Same with Penny, the Dodger pitching just plain sucks and he's the only one that doesn't.
Schmidt is high risk/high reward and he just isn't worth the risk (thanks Dusty). That said, if you can get him on the cheap, go for it. Just don't expect too much.

Dunn has played some 1B and some RF almost every year in the MLB. If he made the switch to 1B, he'd be one of the best 1B in MLB. Millar just doesn't have the numbers to play 1B. A .732 OPB is just pathetic. Dunn has a .952 OPS and is on pace for 40+ HR and 110BB.
