That being said I'd never spend $800+ on a showcase to receive a number nobody cares about. If that makes me a PG basher I can live with that.

This feels a bit like Groundhog Day on this topic, and our PG experience was the same as @PABaseball we never did a showcase. I will add that every coach my son talked to, also looked at his PG profile (not that it was spectacular, nationally ranked in the 500's - whatever that means). We did the PG tournaments because my kid enjoyed them, and I enjoyed watching him play - never went to one expecting more than that.

If you want a definitive analysis of your kids potential, pay an impartial MLB scout to watch your kid play and you'll be a lot closer to reality. I didn't pay or ask for the critique, but I got one when the kid was a junior - it turned out to be pretty spot on.
