Just wondering what the prevailing insights here are for a situation where an '06 player (17 years old) may have an opportunity to play for one of the following.. (but not all 3)
(a) A Local Legion team (somewhat competitive) not located in a very large geographic area. (Former legion team was dissolved, so this would be a new team)
(b) An 18U Select team that plays in a larger metro league AND also travels to 4-5 major wood bat tourneys along the East Coast
(c) Summer college-age team that will take a few HS players and give playing time. Again, located in a Large metro area. Team needs players in 06's position.
It seems to me... Option A would be more relaxed, providing a nice respite before perhaps a more intense Fall. Option B seems to maximize exposure immediately but may be too intense coming right off a competitive HS season. Option C is really intriguing because of the opportunity "play up" at a collegiate level while still in HS. Both options B and C would require more travel since we do not live immediately in the large metro areas. I see risks and rewards to each, but thought I'd throw it out for other insights / angles. All seem viable.
Thanks much
Bob
