Rick- Just watched mine this morning, and loved it.Great insite and information. Got to tell you though, my copy was of poor quality. The segments with Francona were hardly audible and had two places of skipping.
Hey Stickmember,
The reason the Francona parts were inaudible is that there are two audio tracks for the vocals. You must have only one channel of audio inputted into your tv. If you're using a yellow/white/red hookup and only one of the white/red cables is plugged in, try switching it and the problem will be resolved. Some Tvs only have one input...just try putting the red input where the white ones supposed to go or viceversa and everything should work out fine. This is easily fixable. Call the 866 line or email me if you have any other questions regarding troubleshooting this issue.
As far as skipping, I have watched over a hundred copies and haven't seen any problems. Check it in your computer drive or a different dvd player and if it skips there too, then email me at rick@prospectmovie.com and I'll get you a replacement DVD ASAP at no cost. It's very very rare, but I'm sure there is a small chance for a dvd press error.
Hope that helps,
Rick

Received the movie yesterday and watched with my son and husband last night. It has an abundance of information and is a must watch for any high school player looking to go to the next level.
what if your kid is already in college ball? is it still good to get?
bballmom2,
Definitely! They talk about slowing the game down, priorities, self management, the 5 tools, etc....

thanks! will order today
Cool Happening this Weekend. I talked to John Boggs, who is sports agent for guys like Mark Prior, Tony Gwynn, Jack McKeon. He gave an endorsement on the film and ordered a bunch of copies for his clients in the minor leagues. Also, all the big league guys in the movie are hot right now, especially Mike Cuddyer from the Twins. He's got a ten game hit streak going and hopefully he'll continue that today. And Dave Wright hit one off the wall yesterday against Randy Johnson. Exciting stuff.

I watched the film tonite. Great job! Kids will be impacted by getting important info "first hand" from people in the game.
I heard alot about "slowing the game down" in the film. I heard alot about "everything going so fast" very early in the season at college from my son.
The theme of adjusting to counter failure is prevelant, as it should be.
I think it was a scouting director who said "In the big leagues 10% of players belong there regardless. 10% of players don't really belong there, but got there because a coach or manager knew what they could do. The other 75% learned how to adjust, make the most of the opportunity in front of them, competed very well and worked their buts off to stay."
That only adds up to 95% though.
I'm gunna give "The Prospect" 4 jumping green smiley's.

Another update on the big league guys in the film. Brendan Harris got called back up to the big leagues last night for the Washington Nationals. He had a pinch hit homerun in his first major league at bat this year (he's the guy wearing the orange shirt). Thanks for the green guys Dad04

Seeing that there's the possibility of this site ending soon, thought I would let everyone know that Rick has started a new exciting project.
Sometime later this summer he plans to release yet another new documentary that will be an extremely important and educational baseball film. Hint - He will be filming at some of our events once again.
For those who have seen "Prospect" you will love the next one. For those who have not seen "Prospect", you really should!
Here's the link.

Please add my signature of "highly recommend" to your excellent production of "Prospect". My son and I wanted to hit the "rewind" once the movie was over to see it again. Especially since we know several of the coaches, scouts or players in the movie from attending their camps or other events through the years.
Every baseball coach at the Little League level and above, should be talking to their players and parents about watching "Prospect". It's just that good.
Great job!

add me and my son to the list of satisfied customers.
just bought the movie and we watched it last night.
Great, great info there for the younger player (AND PARENT) and for my son, who just finished 1st year of college, alot of great reminders.
I especially liked the one coach's comments comparing the odds of making it to MLB with the odds of becoming an astronaut

Rich Radford from the Virginia Pilot wrote a nice article about Prospect in Friday's paper. I'm going to post it on the website as soon as I can get all the oks. There is also an article on the PG website about filming at the woodbat tourne in october.
Just got back from a 10 day road trip filming the next movie. Got some great footage and once again learned alot of stuff I wish I knew back when I played.
I also got to meet and interview Dennis Martinez, who had over 250 MLB wins. His son is going through the whole recruiting process now, and he had an interesting take on things. As soon as I get the footage loaded up, I may put some trailers up on the site... http://www.prospectmovie.com

Just letting you guys know that I'm shooting a commercial tomorrow for Prospect with David Wright ... As soon as I have it ready, I'll post a link on a secret page on my website and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
Ordered mine. Hope I have it by the weekend.
Just letting you guys know that there's a new Preview on the Prospect website where David Wright from the Mets talks about his thoughts on the film. I think it looks pretty cool.

Just letting everyone know that we've got a regular credit card processor up and running on the website. All apologies to those who had to deal with the "paypal issues." It can be frustrating (it took me over an hour to order my own movie!)
Big News,
I've got a new project in the works that could be huge (big big)...I don't think I can say anything yet but as soon as I can I'll start a new post.
Also, Congrats to Chris Lubanski on a great season. He hit 28 homeruns after only having 8 at the allstar break. His Dad posts here too.

A reporter, Ken Davidoff, from newsday was kind enough to mention prospect in an article this week:

Luckily he knows his stuff!

Rick,
Watched mine about 10 days ago and it has some very valuable info on it. My son is only 10 but i figure i will educate myself in advance, he plays travel ball here in NE FL. Keep up the good work, i learn more everyday from the great posters and great tools like the dvd.

Thanks go golf,
Hey Tom,
The jupiter games are all coming. We got hit with a couple monster projects out of the gate (jupiter, underclass, world) and our decisions on how to edit the games and post them were based more on scouting quality than speed of edit. We also had a hard drive fail with 25 completed jupiter games on it....I wanted to jump out the window that day!!!
But we're going to continue releasing jupiter games every day...and it will speed up too. Also, look for a complete rehaul on the home page soon. Thanks,
Rick
