ClevelandDad posted:I love the sentiment that grades are more important than baseball but lets not kid ourselves. Without the baseball skills it does not matter about the grades. Grades are a disqualifier - not a qualifier. What's been posted about this young man having a near 3.0 ought to qualify him assuming he's willing to work a heck of a lot harder to maintain that average in college. Of course, that is the one million dollar question. Is a young man who is border line a B/C student in high school have what it takes to make that stick in college? I am guessing if he loves the game with all his heart, the answer is yes.
Nobody said it was more important, but I will say if you aren't a draft prospect it is more important to me, his Dad, that he put his priorities in order. If grades get you into a better school, mission accomplished. If you develop more while in college and become a draft prospect, you earned it. But I hope there isn't a parent on here with a "C's get degrees" attitude.
