Reply to "Select teams and showcases hurting baseball?"

I must say that this thread is very good and very depressing. It ties into other threads about the importance of showcasing and travel and it is making me a bit depressed. With the cost of travel ball and showcasing being as huge as it is, what is going to happen to the good/not great players who can't afford to go?

If you are the second coming of Roberto Clemente it won't matter where you play. But what if you are the second coming of Augie Ojeda? Would you even get a look now if you didn't showcase?
