Yanks All Homegrown Team
By Mike Silva ~ November 30th, 2009. Filed under: Mike Silva.
As I did with the Mets earlier this morning I put together a Yankees “All Homegrown” Team. These are active players that were drafted by the Yankees or signed as international free agents. Interesting to see how the 2009 Bronx Bombers would look like without free agency or trades. One note: I didn’t add Alfonso Soriano because he was purchased from Japan and not signed.
