Heh, I guess. GM Terry Ryan was too cheap to go with the greatest amateur pitcher of all time and instead went with the local talent who would be more signable (who was obviously still quite good).
I'm pretty sure not too many people thought Mauer would be this good. Everyone thought Prior was the next coming of Cy Young. And they were right, at least for a few years.
