Excellent posts in this thread. I hesitated posting since my frame of reference is not the same. Son's former teammates will concur to the mibl "grind", though. One guy (now in MLB) got to his Saly league team and found a dozen guys sleeping and basically living in the locker room. Another had a petroleum engineering degree in his back pocket, got to AA and simply lost interest, went home after three seasons and is fine with his decision. It is tough and only the strong survive, as it should be.

BTW Jason Varitek signed as a college senior with a degree. There is a reason MLB has to draft 1,500 a year.
