How are you? As you probably know, I scouted the past 11 years
in the northeast region -- Colorado Rockies (1997-2004), MLB
Scouting Bureau (2005-2007). This current season I have continued
scouting, but have done so independently. I am now teaming with
longtime baseball man Bob Wirz in an effort to help place undrafted seniors with ballclubs.
Throughout this spring, I have identified seniors who I feel can
play professional baseball but may be bypassed in the MLB Draft.
Bob, who worked in the Commissioner's Office in the 70's and 80's as
the chief spokesman and has helped put independent baseball teams
together off and on for the past decade (five playoff teams in six
years), has a lot of contacts. We will be reaching out to teams in
an attempt to get a handful of players signed.
I watched your team play this spring and have identified (your son's name here) I am attaching a
player agreement for (your son's name here). I am asking that you either pass
the agreement along to (your son's name here) or send me his contact information
(email, address, phone) so I can contact him personally.
The non-exclusive agreement outlines what we are attempting to
do for the players. We are not agents, and we are only taking on a
limited number of players in the northeast, as we only want to get
involved with players that I have personally evaluated this past
season. We are asking for compensation only if we are successful in
placing a player.
Should you wish to contact Bob for any reason, he can be reached @ .....
Sincerely,
David Scrivines
