NL West New Powerhouse?

If there's one thing that this postseason of baseball has showed us, it's that the future of the National League West is very promising. A division once looked at as the worst in baseball, the N.L. West now has some of the best young talent in recent memory. The days of sub five hundred teams and postseason failure are over.
The proof is evident by the fact that two N.L. West teams, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, are now playing in the National League Championship Series for a chance in the World Series. Both the Diamondbacks and Rockies' rosters are very young. Only a combined total of eight players on both rosters have had previous playoff experience.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are lead this post season by the youths of Chris Young, Stephen Drew, and Justin Upton. Young batted .237 this season with 32 HR and 68 RBIs. Shortstop Stephen Drew, and rookie outfielder Justin Upton are having incredible postseasons with batting averages of .444 and .429, respectively.
The Rockies are relying on the young talents of outfielder Matt Holiday, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, and closer Manny Corpas, who is technically not a rookie because he played more than 45 games last season. Colorado has one 19 of its last 20 games including the postseason, which includes a three game sweep of the Chicago Cubs.
It's not just the Rockies and Diamondbacks with emerging youthful talent. Practically every team in the N.L. West, with their deep farm systems, has young developing stars.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp, James Looney, and pitcher Chad Billingsley have had great years. Second year catcher Russell Martin and rookie closer Takashi Saito played in their first all-star game this past July. With veterans like Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent guiding these young talents, the future looks bright in L.A.
The San Fransisco Giants have two developing pitchers on their roster in Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Each had seven wins with ERAs of 4.00 and 3.65, respectively.
The one exception maybe the San Diego Padres, but this is simply because their young athletes have now been in the league for a few years.
The National League West has some of the best young talent in all of Major League Baseball. Nearly every team in the west is using the same template to develop their players, consisting of good economics and deep farm systems. With all the talent pouring out of these farm systems, the National League West will be a force to reckon with in the upcoming years.
