They sort of have. TINSTAAPP (there is no such thing as a pitching prospect) has been the strategy for a number of teams for years. Teams are now just loading up on tons of hard throwers and assuming a small percent will make their way through.
You're also seeing it with the contracts being given out. Sure a handful of arms are getting paid, but it's not like it was. The fact Blake Snell couldn't cash in tells you all you need to know. There just isn't going to be the same kind of investment into individual pitchers as there way.
