FTB Mizuno/Cardinals Scout Team - Really? 6 former MLBers?

Are you sure you are talking about a current team?  I don't believe FTB (Florida Travel Ball) has been associated with the Cardinals for a few years. Their Mizuno team is all 2017's or younger.

All PG events are either age or graduation year limited, so I can't think an overaged team would be allowed - nor why one would bother participating.

Could you be referring the FTB Mizuno team from 2010-2011? That one had Lindor, Baez and Fernandez on it.  

I did make a mistake.  I apparently read an article that was referring to 6 former players having made MLB rosters.  The team I was looking at did, indeed, play together in 2010.

I conflated all of this with an article I read earlier in the year discussing Tim Hudson and several other former MLB players playing in an amateur tournament, and I didn't pay close enough attention to the article.

Oops.

That's impressive.

Along a similar vein, there was an 11-year-old travel team a few years ago that produced five major leaguers: www.yahoo.com/news/same-youth-...-041000708--mlb.html

Everyone knows Strasburg and Leake (who was a catcher back then), but Brett Bochy, Thomas Neal, and Xavier Scruggs have all also played in the majors.  Half the team made the majors!!

WOW!  Talk about stacked.
