i would have loved to see damon, fielder and grienke in high school. each one of those guys was rated as one of the top 5 prospects in the nation during their high school days, and they must have been beasts in high school.

being from mass i havent played against nearly that tough competition myself, but the best i have played with or against are sam fuld (4 year starting cf for stanford, graduated last year), rick asadoorian (sox 1st rounder in 99), brad baker (sox sandwich pick in 99), mike fontenot (lsu second baseman and orioles top prospect), gavin floyd (phillies top prospect, 4th pick overall in draft), and joe saunders (angels ist rounder in 2002 draft).

i might be fl for spring training this year, which would be great. so far my baseball jobs havent taken me to spring training yet, but this might be the year that it happens for me.

Yeah, when I was in tyke I played against a kid by the name of Sean Hill, who pitched for the Expos last year and also on Team Canada at the Olmpics. Funny I always remember him as being a junkballer back then but now he's throwing in the 90s.

Geoff, it often happens that way. Kids can develop into monsters. It's always better when a kid starts out with less arm strength, learns how to pitch and then matures into a hard thrower. Those kids become the total package.

baseball, do you live close enough to any GCL or FSL teams to see them play often?

[Baseballa19]

I live close enough, but they play during my spring and summer seasons and I get all the baseball I need then. I did cover a Lakeland Tigers vs. Sarasota RedSox game for TeamOne Baseball last year, but that's the extent of it.
