Reply to "The ODDS of playing"

I think it is instructive to look at real life work world and see how it is currently manifested in baseball.

Look at the Human Resources Dept (fka Personnel). Often, these folks don't waste time in the initial screening process. They rely on external agencies, headhunters, etc... The fact that a potential employee is being recommended by an agency means the prospect has passed the initial screening and should be considered a qualified candidate. The travel/showcase teams today are the external agencies. The best run organizations have built relationships with college coaches. That's why the character/work ethic/talent is not the message for all but for those at a respected organization with solid integrity.
