That is ridiculous. You do not get to pick and choose which of our prospects are "homegrown".

If they came up through our minor leagues, they count as developed.

Tyler Flowers was a highly ranked prospect we received in the Vazquez deal. He looked awful last year.
This year he got righted and now looks like our C of the future.
Developed.

Alejandro De Aza arrived in our system after  batting about .235 for Florida in extremely limited time.
Developed.

Lillibridge has been up and down for what seems like a decade.
Developed.

Santos was converted from SS to Reliever by our minor league staff.
Developed.

Morel has spent time at every level of our organization.
Developed.

KC has supposedly had a farm system rich in gold prospects for years. How's that turned out for them?
Didn't Kila Ka'aihue just get released by them?

As long as we are producing one or two players a year for the big club, our farm system is just fine.
Dylan Axelrod, Addison Reed and Jacob Petricka look like a nice group of prospects to me.

Zach Stewart has the stuff, he still needs to learn how to pitch.

Tyler Kuhn, Josh Phegley, Trayce Thompson all have potential to help.

I don't see the weakness everyone else sees. Albert Pujols isn't in the system. Big deal, I don't see him in anybody else's system either.
