For any team in Major League Baseball, the key to success begins with a solid foundation, and at the core of that foundation is the minor league system. In recent years, we have seen the Astros and Cubs take home World Series titles on the backs of homegrown prospects who turned into MLB stars, supplemented with key veteran free agents.
