In theory, sure, but you can also draft a better position player than the guy you're hypothetically trading for. I get the value in getting pitchers even for trade purposes, but sometimes it's just smarter to draft a bat, and a narrow minded approach to say "I'm only taking a pitcher".
There are times when taking a pitcher is the best approach, but sometimes there are elite bats that you shouldn't pass up, especially when they can play D at an up the middle position.
