The politics of baseball you see unfold in this thread along with implied and subtle threats.

The talent of baseball speaks for itself and needs no one to interpret its meaning. But there are those that will take the politics of baseball and use it to undermine the talent of baseball. It happens all the the time, starting at the LL level and exponentially gets worse as you go up in levels.

As the competition gets more intense the politics of baseball meets it with equanimity and each word spoken is used for grist on the mill...that's the politics of baseball.

But if a kid can can show 7/7's in 3 tools all the politics doesn't matter.

But if your kid is less than 5/5 in 3 tools then you better get to know one of these guys who are connected to the college scouting combine...and that's also the politics of baseball.
