Sorry. Running a business, meeting payrolls, paying the bills, maintaining top quality staff takes a lot of hard work, and yes, money. Guess we are just going to disagree on whether PG should simply give away more of its' main product - information. As I already stated, I think they give away plenty of it now.
Like purchasing any product, a consumer can chose to buy...or not buy....depending upon their view of the value of that particular purchase.
Sounds like you find value in PG'sCrosschecker....you just want it for free.(that's ok, we can disagree) Other people find value and are willing to pay. I put myself in the paying category. I hope that PG is (or becomes) a profitable venture. That, and only that, will help insure it stays around as a way for youth baseball players to learn, develop and gain visibility.
