Something you never really notice until you do half a decade of shadow drafts is how very hard it is to produce a home grown shortstop without a latin american program.
I've officially graduated Dustin Pedroia, Alex Gordon, Josh Fields, Casey Kotchman, Kurt Suzuki, JR Towles, Scott Moore, Jon Sanchez, Kevin Slowey, and Billy Buckner to the majors.

Strong at the top
but without much depth. I guess middle of the pack?

If you don’t count graduates.

You know what's weird?
I also keep a shadow Royals farm system, and I too chose Lincoln, Manship and Griffiths!
