I have stayed out of the mix all summer because there didn't seem to be any profit in it to post here to my son's effort to play at the next level.....that and I have been to busy traveling with work to really pay attention.
But this thread and the topic of DBAT and The Mustangs merging has caused me to stop and think about it.....
This might be a good thing because I can see the two tiers of teams for each age group having extactly the players they want and developing those players as a team and not changing the parts to any large extent. Players will still change teams and players will be picked up as needed and as the CM rules allow but it might be less of an event and more of an understood process.
I am sure there will be plenty of talented players that don't try-out for the new entity and will play for the many other good teams like the Tigers or the Team D group, Patriots and A's etc.....and the Marshals...
Hey Catcher, where will the Catfish play?
I hope that they are sucessfully in acquiring the land and resources needed to build a East Cobb like Complex because then a lot of talent will be coming to Dallas looking for teams to play and play on. If that happens all the DFW teams will benefit and our players will be playing against the best a lot more.

Don't worry, I can't afford to call you anymore.
Since when did DBAT start charging $2.99 per minute?
Becky thinks I'm callin' those naughty lines....
Ken,
If I had a dime for everytime you caught a bullpen I would not have to charge $2.99.

Heck,
If I just had a nickle for every bullpen I'd pay for your spot in Kansas and Illinois this year.

Boys all this talk about hunting is making me jealous! I've got a 5 year old pointer that can find birds with the best of them. Should have been a field trial dog. If you're chasing antlers, then my Mathews FX is in tune and ready to go. I'll pay for the gas and bring stogies for the fire side chat! 
HUNTING! 
I leave in 9 days for a 10 day Elk hunt in Colorado, highs in the 60's and lows near 40.

Same ol' thing the hundredth time around. Teams have merged, and teams have come and gone (anyone remember DPA? What was that manager's name? The guy w/ all of the freckles?) DANG I'm getting old!
There will always be teams for kids and young men to play on, as long as people volunteer their time to help them. Some have enough demand to be paid for their time. Some want the best team they can put together. Some want to make a little change to help with some of their expenses. Some want to help as many kids as possible without regard to their own record or pocket book. Don't see a problem with any of it.

Yeah, then later he merged with Fred " Twinkletoes " Flintsone and The Great Gazoo to become the Royal Order of the Water Buffalos. And they were sponsored by Slate Rock and Gravel.
will the DBAT Mustangs be playing in the Texas Showcase League this fall?

Welcome aboard, Jay.
Bridges was well before my time....only DPA coach I know is Barney. You are officially an 'old timer'.
