Exactly! They drafted Gerrit Cole but weren't able to sign him and they were going to draft Mike Trout but the Angels had a lower pick than them and scooped him up. But I do agree, the Yankees farm system and scouting department SUCKS! They pumped up Jesus Montero who didn't do anything with them or the Seattle Mariners (who've since demoted him to the minors). Who's the last legitimate player they developed? Robinson Cano? What amazes me is how teams such as Oakland, Tampa Bay and St. Louis are able to draft, develop and be as competitive as they are with their payroll.
