Every year people complain that the coach keeps too many kids, it's not about kids making the team and playing baseball, it's about kids making the money for the team, 15 players gens this much money, but 20 players gens another 25%
There are not as many players on the team in summer ball, the players are better, the competion is better, chance to be seen is better, scouts can see more kids at one tourney than traveling around. Hey this has been going on in high level HS basketball for 20 years....AAU teams , summer basketball that's were Caliperi goes to find them.

Great...just what we need...baseball to be more like "high level" basketball.
