Say this year's draft goes sideways like so many of the previous decade. Next year, our rotation is almost certainly going to be Felix, BIG 4. That would leave Blake Beavan, DJ Mitchell, the loser of the BIG 5 battle, and Hisashi Iwakuma on contract with nowhere to pitch, and that assumes Forrest Snow or someone doesn't figure it out. One could conceivably package together that upper minors talent/Big Leaguers on contract being pushed out by kids and package it for some low minors lottery tickets to cover yourself for 2 or 3 years down the road?
