The Thursday Thinker: Traded commodities

The Brewers have been aggressive on the trading market in the last year plus, working to build the system through acquired prospects. They’ve been aggressive enough that the 40-man roster is almost half full with players acquired by trade. In fact, 17 of the 39 players currently on the 40-man roster were acquired by trade. Can you pick those players out in 3 minutes?

It’s all on the honor system, but it’s also just for fun, so don’t cheat. Also, be warned that the comments may contain spoilers. (If you want to be kind, use spoiler text as well when discussing players in the comments.)
