Sure, it's fun to see a bunch of corner OF/1B/DH guys rake in the minors but is it really a great strategy? You need to really hit on a high number of them if you are eventually gong to trade them for pitching. It costs more at least 2 and more likely 3 of those type players to even sniff at decent ML pitching, and you still need to find a trade partner. I don't see it as any less risky than trying to draft and develop your own pitching even with the higher miss rate...
