First item...not talking about year round baseball. I hate the idea of year round sports for any youth. I don't think April 1 - Mid July constitutes year round baseball.

Second item...when you have a roster of 12 players, and that is what all the parents want for a 12 or 13 year old team (don't kid yourself if you think different), then taking away 2, leaves you with 10 (simple math). Do you really believe a team can compete at a tournament with only 10 players in Mid-July during the summer heat?

Last item...found out that the basketball team the two kids are travelling with to Indiana will have 14, that is right, 14 players on the roster. Let's see...basketball takes 5 players on the court to play...14-5=9...so 9 guys on the bench. Baseball requires a minimum of 8 players to play (preferable to have 9)...so 12-8=4...so 4 guys on the bench. Take away 2 from 9 or 2 from 4. Which seems more reasonable?
