It's also important that who you are dealing with has a credible reputation with the "powers that be"...ie. coaches, recruiters, scouts etc. There are those out there that claim to be "baseball guys", whose word/recommendations are worthless because it is known by anyone with any kind of baseball sense, that they are self-serving to promote a player from his team, thus promoting himself. They in turn speak poorly of a talented player because they were not part of his "program".
