Reply to "Select teams and showcases hurting baseball?"

Bum,
Good points but...I know of a player who as a HS player made headlines in his small town. The parent was definetly convinced that he was top D1 material.
Attended one showcase, he didn't fair well compared to others of his age group. The parent then realized that their son's talent is what it was, and that he would be at best a lower tier D1 player or best chances to go to JUCO to improve. I think that helped to save lots of money by keeping it simple.
Sometimes it's just good to have your son evaluated by those that don't see things the way you do, even with great stats.
If a player showcases and throws 70's, that should help the player and his parents to define where he needs improvement or open their eyes to save money before they spend it. JMO.
