Baseball draft picks are a complete crap shoot, even among the early first round picks. There's no guarantee you'll get an every day MLB player.
For example, Pompey was picked in the 16th round, Pillar in the 32, and Sanchez was a very late first round draft pick (34th). I'd much rather give up the pick than guys like Pompey/Pillar/Sanchez. I'd have no problems giving up Sanchez for an established starter under team control, but l don't think Sanchez alone gets you anything, and Pompey and Pillar are too valuable in my opinion to include, especially when you could get an equivalent pitcher for next to nothing on the FA market.
Funny that of three names floating around there, the one I wouldn't really care if they traded is the one that was drafted the highest by a considerable amount.
