That only leaves picking one up via trade or bringing one through the entire draft process and minor league system.
Because of this, that trade gets made 10 out of 10 times, as we are still looking for an ACE.
We don't need a CenterFielder, nor do we need a Left-Handed Power bat that hits for average, too.
