"It all starts down on the farm. With the expansion of the league, it became even more apparent that the club that should be a contender would have to 'grow its own' talent in its farm system. No ordinary farmer is Johnny Johnson, Vice-President of Minor League Operations. He and his experienced scouting staff have that rare talent - the ability to recognize a potential major leaguer in a youngster who has yet to prove it.
Bringing along new players is an exciting and rewarding job. Some prospects develop slowly but steadily; others suddenly find themselves and spring up overnight.
As Lee MacPhail says:
'You can never tell when one of the boys you drafted far down the list will suddenly emerge as the one you have been waiting for.'
But dark horse or late bloomer, the player in the Yankee organization who's called up is ready because he got the help he needed from great coaches, minor league managers and instructors. The best tribute to the caliber of men running the Yankee farm system is today's young Yankee team, heavy with excellent 'home grown' talent that has been brought along beautifully despite interruptions for military service."
-The New York Yankees Official 1970 Yearbook
