What Philly has traded away....

Here is a list of what Philadelphia has traded away for Cliff Lee, Halladay, Oswalt, and now Pence.  I've attached a couple non-sabermetric notes to each name.  With respect to some Philadelphia prospects list in 2009, the Phillies have traded away 7 of their top 10 prospects since that time.  

What has been the return?  In the majors - a young, currently #3 starter, a #4 starter, a demoted young starter, and a backup catcher; for the minors, it seems like a couple decent prospects (still) and a couple quad-A guys.

I'm not sure how attractive this return is for Lee/Halladay/Oswalt/Pence.  Perhaps we have a tendency to overvalue prospects - but if anything, selling GMs may be forced to accept quantity over quality.
