12 of the 25 players on the 2010 playoff roster were homegrown players.

11 of the 25 players on the 2012 playoff roster were homegrown players.

14 of the 25 players on the 2012 playoff roster were homegrown players.

Spin that all you would like.  The bottom line is, in spite of making key trades and signing a few key free agents here and there, yes THE MAJORITY of our core players during our run have been homegrown players.  I would love to see how other World Series winning teams stack up to that.  I would say off the top of my head, the 2011 Cardinals have a fair share of homegrown players as well.  Aside from that, I dont think many other championship teams in recent history can say that.

But thank you for playing, salty Socal fans.

Petit isn't homegrown. Was in the Mets system, spent some years in Arizona.

 

[dland24]

You are right.  He has been in our system in the minors for a while now after being out of baseball for a few years.  My mistake.  Will edit my post.

White Sox

 

[pacificnorsewst]

A homegrown core with FA acquisitions and trades to solidify that core is EXACTLY how you're supposed to do it. Giants are doin' it right.

home grown players from all 3 world series teams: 

Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Jonathan Sanchez, Ryan Vogelsong, Sergio Romo, Brian Wilson.

Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, Joe Panik, Brandon Crawford, Pablo Sandoval, Travis Ishikawa and the entire bench(Duffee, Susac and Perez) this year were all home grown players.

yes, that is what people would call the majority.

You can't call Ishikawa homegrown. He's been on 5 different teams

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source confirms: #WhiteSox signing David Robertson to four-year deal for at least $40M. First reported: @bobnightengale.

Technically you can because he was apart of the 2010 World Series team.

[CP1708]

Cubs bring in Dempster as a front office consultant, a former Lester teammate, then Hammel, another former Lester teammate.

Kid is in high demand.
