The one thing people value more than most is young pitching. When deals need to be made, it's always nice to have a surplus there for trading purposes.
This may be true, but outstanding position player prospects can be nice chips too (see Hanley Ramirez, the centerpeice of the Beckett deal, and Daric Barton, the main piece in the Mulder deal).
