I need help keeping this all scouting activity in perspective. Arrghhh.
I have read through everything I could find about pro scouts, the draft, etc. in the last three weeks. We're taking a crash course as my son was just "discovered" by MLB about a month ago.
I should explain we live in a more rural area with a little more limited exposure than some kids; he had college attention and has signed at a JUCO, but no pro scouting attention until now.
Since then, he's filled out forms for the Scouting Bureau and a dozen teams, had requests for two in-home meetings --- all in the past three weeks.
At every game since the big discovery, there have been anywhere from 3 - 8 scouts that we could detect. The scouts' demeanor is as described elsewhere on HSBBW: some chat us up, some don't, some call on the phone, some don't.
It's a great situation for my son and very exciting, especially since he wasn't on MLB radar before now ---- what a thrilling ride. But, such a flurry in a short time right at the end of senior year with so much else going on.
How did/does everyone else stay grounded when this kind of thing happens?
