    While catching up on the High School Baseball Web's recent posts, I ran across the attached discussion. It includes what I thought was an interesting post by "Justbaseball." I offer it up not to advocate it; but, to provoke thought and discussion.

    By the way, "Justbaseball's" son is a very fine left-handed pitcher, who will play as a freshman at Stanford this year, if he doesn't sign with the Angels.

    Sorry Prep, I missed this post.

    It is an evolution, but I don't like it. Some of the kids are playing 75-100 games in the summer...forget for a moment the pitchers and potential overuse, the players are not physically capable to play that many games without their bodies beaking down.

    Personally, I don't like anything about it. What these teams are basically doing is taking a showcase team, place them in a Little League zone and allow them to represent that area.
