We know about the Orioles' strategy to ignore the international market in the early 2010s.
What we didn't realize at the time was that they used the same strategy for domestic talent a decade earlier.

Take a closer look at all the members of the 5x club. There aren't many.
The M's Ryan Anderson 5x. I get you need to develop some guys but...five years in a row? I remember always being excited about him getting called up. Telling a bit when your #1 prospect for half a decade never makes it to The Show.

This is one of the cool little bits of trivia in @baseballamerica.com history
The very first BA prospect ranking for the Yankees had John Elway at No. 1. He had just played in the New York-Penn League as the Yankees tried to woo him from the NFL
New York drafted him in the second round in 1981
