Taylor Green had a productive minor league season in 2007, after which he joined Team Canada for a period.

Green was voted his high school's athlete of the year as a senior. He went on to Cypress College for two years. The Milwaukee Brewers took him in the 25th round of the 2006 amateur draft. He debuted with the Helena Brewers, hitting .231/.328/.308 in 62 games. He led Pioneer League second basemen in putouts (125) and assists (179). In 2007, Green looked far better with the West Virginia Power, batting .327/.406/.516 with 86 RBI. He was 4th in the South Atlantic League in average and made the league All-Star team at third base.

In the 2007 Baseball World Cup, Green hit only .174/.200/.217 as Canada's main third baseman and had a crucial two-base error in a one-run loss to Australia. He remained with Canada for the 2008 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament, going 2 for 7 with a double, backing up Stubby Clapp at second and Matt Rogelstad at third.
