*found this when googling my thought* - this is my first "POLL" here in 6 yrs posting here
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2354716-ranking-all-30-mlb-teams-on-homegrown-talentFirst off, to be considered "homegrown," a player must have been drafted by an organization or signed by it as an amateur free agent, and I even decided to include foreign-born player who competed professionally in Japan, Cuba or Korea on this list.
I just want to limit my Poll to the last 5 years or so
List your team and players that you think qualify. In my Opinion your listed players should have played for your MLB Team and maybe even played in an All Star game or been recognized as talent.
Some Examples pushing 5 years StL and Pujols or even LA dudgers and Kemvp.
Really this just nags at me and when I see Story in CO I keep wondering where is that SD Super Star since Gwynn?????
Here what that site listed for my Padres - sickening actually. Damn we are a horrid franchise.
OF Will Venable 2005 12.6 out of baseball probably
LHP Cory Luebke 2007 3.0 tommy john and now gone an unknown
2B Jedd Gyorko 2010 2.5 filling in for injury
RHP Nick Vincent 2008 2.2 unknown talent traded
1B/OF Tommy Medica 2010 1.0 out of baseball probably
RHP Kevin Quackenbush 2011 0.7 struggling thought to be next closer...
