This is just not true. Teams like Atlanta who are not major-market teams have to rely on their farm system for most of their talent at all positions. You can't rely on trades to bring in all of your bats.
Look at what teams like the Cubs and Red Sox are doing. Hitting is at a premium all around baseball right now. If you don't have much of it, you're at a big disadvantage.
I'm all for drafting arms, but it has to be balanced, especially given the current state of our system.
