If you find that gem, he's yours for the low-low price of league minimum ($502K). Every version of this game, I've done this in the early stages of my dynasty, and every time I've found at least one.
I often get the back end of my bullpen doing this.

People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them."
