Need some real and truthful pros and cons about the Futures League. 

 

For example pros/cons on how competitive it is, how it compares to others (I saw a ranking from '13 which has it at #8), how are the facilities and the traveling. And PG has it ranked as a 'tier 3' (last tier), is it a true meaning that they belong in the last quality tier?

 

They play  56 games and can a player, if signed, play less, let say 40 like June through mi-July (to allow time for other training)?

 

Which other summer leagues are really comparable with the Futures?

 

What would you do if you could play Futures or play in a So. Florida league (not full of studs) and have the opportunity to workout BP with a proven MLB instructor at the same time.

 

Thanks for the opinions and feedback on any of my multiple questions.

2015 son was given a choice, coach preferred him going with 2 other freshmen at  their non-power conference D1 to one of the top Futures League teams.

The 2 position players have a strong chance at starting this spring and the P will see a good amount of action come February, IMO.

 

1- it is where their coach wants them to play

2- as freshmen, they did not have college stats to present.

3- 2 of them have had scout attention, pre-draft, etc.

Scouts have told them if they are seeing players at the Cape Cod league, it is easy to swing by to see them in New England.

4 - hopefully they will eventually end up in the Cape if they keep improving.

 

As with college, going where you will play is important.

FYI:

Another freshman is going to the Hampton's League and one to the Cal Ripken College League. 

Hear that Older kids are going to the Alaska League and Northwoods.

 

If your son is older than a freshmen,

get as much information as you can.

Sounds like your son was given a choice which is great.
