As the Detroit Tigers have three rookies who have contributed to the team’s success under manager AJ Hinch, how important is it to have the homegrown talent to win a World Series?
Back when I started the Detroit Tigers Minor League Report, I spent time looking at World Series winners and the core of teams I grew watching. Since the Tigers have drafted high in the last four seasons, there is a good chance a good amount of a potential World Series-winning team would be built with homegrown talent.
