..............too easy.

Glass houses CPLZ, glass houses... how's gov Blagojevich doing these days?

PG he might not have made a list with his 80 mph fastball.
I know several guys personally who made these lists and I do think it helped them. I also think that too many worry about showcases and lists but it is a great business plan. You do have a good product.

Touchee....Gov Bigliarvich sends his regards.

Bobble,

Oh, I see what you mean. I don’t think anyone should ever put all their eggs in one basket. Going to a showcase or being on a list can help, but it is no guarantee for success. Likewise, being excluded from a list doesn’t mean failure. Scouts and college coaches know that there are no lists that are entirely accurate. Some more than others, but none being perfect. There is much more to it.

It’s been said here many times… The most important lists are those belonging to Major League Scouting Departments and College Coaching Staffs. Sometimes one list helps get a player on another list. Sometimes it doesn’t!

Baseball Factory was recently informed of the above thread on the High School Baseball Web Site. Since 1998, we have not had a consistent presence on this site, so it came as a surprise to our executive team.

Our mission as a company is to help youth and high school players develop their skills and ultimately find a place to play baseball in college. We have always supported and appreciated all businesses in the amateur baseball industry that work towards this common goal.

We have reviewed the posts and claims and will immediately look into this matter.

How long do you guys figure this investigation is going to take? I wonder if it's akin to OJ investigating his wifes murder from the third tee box?

Maybe they are taking que from one group on finding out who talked to the Blagojevich camp

Despite the questionable origins of this topic it has actually been very interesting and informative!

I would like to thank PG Staff for going out of his way to help me with a question that this post brought to my attention.

His response shows that they truly care.

He's not a famous relative and (sorry, Jerry) doesn't quite rank as high as Holden Caulfield's Katarina Witt kiss, but I did meet and shake the hands with PGStaff last year. He is a first class individual runnung a first class operation. I always enjoy his input on HSBBW. His openness and honesty, especially in this thread, reinforce the esteem I hold of Jerry Ford and PG.



Baseball Factory. This is an interesting and somewhat troubling develpoment with Mike Black. The unintended consequences of his actions have sullied their image further. Recently, I perceived an improvement in their All-American process and solicited current observations of BF's efforts. I was hopeful that they had turned around their infamous practices that linger in the posts on HSBBW. I look forward to a prompt, honest response from BF_STAFF, aka Jason Budden.

(Of course, this being the internet and all, there is no guarantee his first post is legitimate.)

I missed this subject earlier. Theres nothing surprising about the dishonesty of mike black or whatever his real name is. Too bad he left before someone could ask him about who the preseason allamericans are this year. I have nothing against under armour as they are a good company I doubt they know how their name is being used.

How do you get your son's colleges listed? I looked at a few guys and there wasn't a college mentioned. I know that some of these players are currently at D1's.

Enough of these could really screw with your stats and percentages.

dooer,

we try but still can't get all the information we would like to have. if someone knows where a player has committed or just wants to send up to date info... email... staff@perfectgame.org

Wow,
They must have convened a committee over at Baseball Factory to investigate the Mike Black scandal, as it has taken so much time to report back here. I hope they all get some time off for the holidays during their thorough investigation.

Resurrecting an old topic - two comments:

Son was graded an 8 and made the top prospect team at Natl. Underclass showcase. But in our experience it gained him no ground with coaches. One school he was really interested in had numerous players that had graded 7 or 7.5, but coach showed no interest. He ended up DI, but I never felt like the PG grade helped get him any attention. And, I did feel like the grade was fair. He didn't hit great at the showcase and that is his strength, so maybe on a better day he could have been an 8.5, but grade was pretty accurate. We live in an area that gets almost NO attention from scouts, so were hoping the PG thing would help, but like I said didn't seem to.

Second comment: Doesn't look like BF got back with us. I guess they nabbed "Mike" and thus were guilty??

Now you guys are making me nervous. PG Ratings will be posted soon.
