Reply to "PBR Plus - Worth It?"

I would that it'd be worth it for some and not for others.  Is it a homerun of knowledge and information? No.  But for the $10 or whatever it is I pay per month, it's worth it for me.  But I lean towards being a nerd for baseball stuff.  Especially when my son isn't in-season.  I like being to able to go watch and read about peers of my son around our area and in the surrounding states since he's played travel ball.  I try hard to pay as much as I can forward to other parents and players, so I've sometimes used PBR to put together info that I call "comparables."  Johnny's just starting to get into the recruiting world and you want to see how he compares to some others?  That's easy to do.  Your kid can only play 1B and wants to go College X?  Well, then maybe watch some videos of kids who have gotten recruited to that school and played 1B.  Does your kid look anything like that?  What will he be up against?  What is worth working on more?  Things like that.  My son has made some friends and connections over the years with travel ball and it's also cool to check in on some of them and see what their path looks like.  For me, it's just an easy, fun and cheap way to try to stay a little more informed and plugged in.  My son is headed off to college this fall, so I'll be cancelling it sometime soon, but it's served a purpose and scratched a few itches for me.  Your mileage will almost certainly vary.
