That being said, absolutely not. Trade two 22 year old starters(1st and 3rd), for a 27 yr old starter making 3 times the money. That's poppy-cock.

If a guy of this caliber slipped all the way out of the draft, it's yet another sign of the value draft picks have. Obviously every team made a mistake passing on him. But the point is, those teams had the opportunity to pick him. Those opportunities vanish if you don't have picks.

The value of the draft depreciates if every team misses on a stud, because clearly it's a tool not fully understood or utilized.

If you keep your entire allotment of draft picks then your chances of hitting any of those picks improves dramatically.

I don't think our FO has that part down yet.
