A couple interesting notes from recent winners:
Starting Rotation:
2013 Red Sox: 3 / 5 drafted by the Red Sox.
2012 Giants: 4 /5 drafted by Giants.
2011 Cards: only 1 /5 drafted by Cards
Starting Line Ups:
2013 Red Sox: 3 / 9 of the starting 9 were home grown
2012 Giants: 4 / 8 drafted by Giants
2011 Cards: 5 / 8 drafted by Cards
Seems like a team needs a solid core of home grown talent if they're going to contend.
