This whole thing is a bit of a rip off....baseball organizations hold all the cards. If you want a shot at the big dream (illusion?) then you are going to take a plate full of crap and smile about it. You want to do something different outside the org standard for training? See ya. You are injured? See ya. You have family commitments/issues? See ya.

I would describe minor league baseball the same way I would describe JC baseball....a meat grinder.

I dont get the comparison, maybe because I dont really think that you know how to compare proball to anything that you know.

So since you think that its a rip off, would you prevent your son from signing a contract to play professional ball?
