Question

If each team could only have players from their area, who in your opnion would have the best team?

Answer 1

Teams like the Astros, Rays, and Dodgers would do well.  A lot of players come from their areas.

Answer 2

probably marlins or rays lots of good talent from there

Answer 3

The Dodgers. Most young players are all from the West Coast and Southern CA so the Pads and the Dodgers would both have loads of talent

Answer 4

Dominican Republic

Answer 5

I'll tell you now that the Cubs, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, any team that has a winter would never be in contention at all.  All the talent comes from warmer climates because they're able to play the game year round, which is a huge advantage.  Not to mention that most of the league doesn't even com from the U.S.  This question just can't be answered with a good opinionated answer, but if I had to take a guess I would say the Rangers or Astros.  I think Texas produes more big leaguers then anywhere else.

Answer 6

The Braves. Their draft philosophy (if they have nobody else in mind at the moment) is always "I'll take the best local player". Georgia wins the Little League World Series like, every year...the East Cobb baseball program is one of the best in the nation...and the Braves have always focused on getting players from Georgia. Didn't seem to hurt them (14 consecutive division titles). Just a few big players from Georgia:

Brian McCann

Jeff Francoeur

Moises Alou

All of the Drew boys (JD, Tim, Stephen)

Chone Figgins

Jeremy Hermida

Tim Hudson

Kenny Rogers

Frank Thomas

Adam Wainwright

just to name a few...

And just for good measure, here's a couple old players I could think of that were from Georgia:

Ty Cobb

Bucky Dent

That's just Georgia...if you want to add in the other states near us that have a lot of Braves fans because they're the closest team (Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, etc.) there are a whole lot more.

Answer 7

Yeah, braves.

alot of good players are from Georgia

Answer 8

Braves

Answer 9

Probably either the Astros or Rangers. Texas always have had very good baseball players come out of the state. Rice University, Texas A&M, and University of Texas have always had great baseball programs. As well as many high schools in the Houston and Dallas area have extremely good baseball teams.

Answer 10

Yep, definitely the DR.  It's amazing how talented the players from there are.

Answer 11

The Dodgers or Angels, there is a lot of young talent in southern california, especially pitchers
