Coach,

You are in the zone today. One great post after the other. My son played for a terrible excuse for a human being in high school. We always hated the fact that he couldn't play for one of the many good coaches in the area. But, in the long run, the bad HS experience made him stronger and more determined. It's called turning Chicken #$&@ into Chicken Salad.

Travel ball should be free agency because it's important for a player to be on a team where they have more control. To develop a complete player you NEED both of these because if it's always easy then what are they going to do when they FINALLY have to compete at the college or minor league level if they get there?
