The oakland A's have spent a couple of seasons dealing viable major leaguers for prospects without regard for organizational depth charts. The teams has lots of starting pitchers and outfielders and few infielders.
The team that looks like it is going down the same path is the Cleveland Indians who dealt two of their three best players, LHP Cliff Lee and C/1B Victor Martinez, for eight prospects. Does the team really need C Lou Marson with Carlos Santana the heir apparent at the position? Or AAA infielder Jason Donald when Asdrubel Cabrera and Luis Valbuena have SS and 2B covered?
I wonder if Billy Beane and his adherents are missing latest values in baseball - established major leaguers - while other teams are recognizing the most over-valued ones are prospects.
