The Importance of the San Francisco Giants' Homegrown Infield

If you want some idea as to why the San Francisco Giants have won three World Series titles in five years, you only have to look at their infield.

You see, they're all really good, and all of them, every single one, was drafted by the team they're playing for.

Between first baseman Brandon Belt (2009 5th round pick), second baseman Joe Panik (2011 1st round pick), third baseman Matt Duffy (2012 18th round pick), and shortstop Brandon Crawford (2008 4th round pick), the Giants have put together one of the best young infields in all of baseball, and all of them have come from the draft.
