I think it should. As of now, we're probably in the top 5 of all organizations in the sheer amount of minor league pitching talent, but near the bottom in position player talent. Add to that the facts that teams almost never trade away top position player prospects (except for Tampa Bay, it seems, and they presumably won't trade within the division) and that few good hitters ever make it to free agency in the prime of their careers, and it is imperative that this organization develop more good position players.

The O's have lots of pitching, but very little left handed pitching. If Patton or Loewen amount to anything, consider it a bonus.

Use the "surplus" of pitching to get the bat you need, instead of taking a chance on an unproven, tier 2 aluminum bat hitter.
