I struggle a little with this though as Relief Pitchers tend to show up as borderline MLB ready at the draft so it can make them appear as Best Player Available (BPA) but they don't always have the best trade value (BTV).
I've found that the players with BTV in my league are Starting Pitchers, Slugging corner infielders and outfielders, and absolute Elite Closers. So sometimes a Relief Pitcher in the draft can be flipped the next season and I suppose you could draft a guy, put him immediately in AAA and then trade him the next year for a position of need.
Last thing - I've had almost zero success drafting and developing middle infielders who can hit and field. There are lots of guys who are potential gold glovers but they might as well not even carry a bat with them to the plate so I usually trade for those guys.
