RJM,

Some kids like the competition and some kids don't. Kids get replaced on every team my son has played on including LL. I just don't see what the big deal is about a better player taking a spot. It is the very nature of sports and all other forms of competition. It happens to everyone at some point in their life. In all things. It happens way before the age of 12. Spelling bees, kick ball, you name it. Better beats out worse unless there is some type of artificial pressure keeping the better in place.

My analogy was in the competition in HS and college. Not the fly in part. That is only a matter of degree. In both cases you are being replaced by someone who is better than you.
