1st home visit last night with son. Great meeting, low to no pressure. Personality test was given. Scout brought up "rounds/money topic" and squelched it early saying now wasn't the time to discuss. 2.5 hours later, we (mom, son and i) had learned a lot and were better prepared for a 2nd meeting if it ever presents itself. Usual questions arose, girlfriend, distance away from home, do you like to throw inside, are you a hard worker/dedicated, talked about the bus rides, typical day in the life of a MiLBer with schedule etc. and rookie ball, low and high A as well as college juniors vs 21 yo MiLBers at that age and experence level. Also who sits in back of bus on trips....old guys/young guys...seniority.
Got an invite to their facility for the pre-draft workout, 30-50 prospects and didn't know if this was "standard" or common or if it indicated more interest OR was a gating item to indicate willingness by the prospect/family to be drafted etc? It is June 2015.
All comment, thoughts welcomed and appreciated.
