It's been a proven long term strategy in major league baseball. Even the Nationals did it when they were drafting Harper, Strasburg and Rendon.

The farm system was completely depleted by MLB ownership by the time we got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, this isn't baseball, but you have a team trying to emulate this now, and I am surprised that it's taken this long for it to happen.

Marrero was a disaster and Crow wouldn’t sign. The team simply had no talent other than Zimm and Desmond when Rizzo took over. He built it from the ground up.

That is how they got so many early round picks They didn't go out and spend money on free agents to try and rush the window. When the window was opening was when they brought in Jayson Werth to bring leadership tp the clubhouse. The Cubs and Astros took it a step further by trading away just about all of their major league talent that wasn't pre-arbitration, setting that precedent to "tanking."

I'd argue the Astros and Cubs learned from what the Nationals did, but took it a step further to trade away all pre-arbitration assets and let everyone ride it out.
