Maybe it's different in Virginia...but here in Maryland, good talent has been underserved for years. While it is generally agreed that this year's class of MD baseballers is outstanding, they are being recognized and appreciated through the efforts of people like Haines' w/ Red Sox and Albany's Orioleanders, Wargo (the definitive camp experience -- Southern Maryland for being seen), and McCormick (independent talent evaluation and recommendation services w/MVP). What's great about all four is that they ALL go the extra mile to help kids to realize their dreams. Most people believe that doing more than you promise is a good thing.... all four above have passed the test on that score many times over.
Showcases that mimic PG are nothing more than 'cattle calls'. Unfortunately, the whole PG concept gets even further diluted when so many others have joined in the 'money grab'.
College showcases remain the ultimate fundraiser for the "Spring trip". Save your cash on that one, as well, unless you have been having meaningful dialogue with the coaching staff (email and phone), they have seen you play or seen your CD/videotape and they TELL you that they are interested in signing you.

Also the idea that PG merely promotes players who were already "known" is completely wrong. I know of many players whose first real exposure came from PG events. I know of countless others who tried many venues but got traction only from their PG events.
That erronneous sentiment sounds like one of those sour grapes stories to me -- somebody who didn't get rated/ranked as highly as they would've liked.
