Just got a chance to read this thread, and I feel for you on this one. No need to feel guilty about the situation, teams/coaches like this shouldn’t exist. Heck, even POs get some innings. If it was my kid he would no longer be on this team. Rec leagues are fun no doubt, but don’t discount the option of guest playing either. Call around a little and you might find a team or two that could use him occasionally this summer. Not everyone has that much depth. There are a lot of good teams in the PA/NJ/MD//DE area.
