Even though he didn’t play one B in high school.

Bottom line, you play enough PG tournaments, they’re gonna find a place to rank you.

Don’t pay them any money and you don’t get shite.

Play their tournaments, you’re a top high school stud, regardless.

You’ll get downvoted to Hell and back but you’re not wrong.

And your response has nothing to do with this thread or my post. I guess you're just looking for attention since your 1000th thread about funding isn't getting any right now.

Have a family friend who’s kid is very highly ranked and I told my wife the same exact thing. He might be very good and pan out but they will absolutely rank kids playing in their system over anyone else.

So they rank kids they get to see over kids they don't get to see?? How terrible of them.

Are we suggesting Braun sucks? He doesn't belong at LSU? He's over rated? What exactly is the point we are trying to get at here?

My op was not the slightest bit about Brauns play, he’s been great.

I was just commenting the ridiculous PG ratings when we were discussing should he play 1B. Guys weren’t sure if he played first before and he said he was OF mainly but PG lists him as 1B.

The guys not talking about his offense. He’s talking about him being a First Baseman!

Has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. Hence why it’s called out as being dumb

It means these parents who pay (or force their friends to pay by guilt) for travel ball, are cheating the kids of a childhood and the scouts of accurate data regarding them

Oh man, just stfu.
"Cheating kids of childhood" and "cheating scouts of data"?

Dude, catch yourself. But, to your bad take...you dont think a kid, who made it on scholly at LSU, took the right path getting here?

LOL...you moron

He was recruited for his bat. Colleges don't really recruit 1B. It's a position of last resort.

Also, Jay Johnson said he was the best high school bat that he saw in last year's class. Pretty strong stamp of approval regardless of PG's ranking.

Moderately dumb, but just dumb enough that I want nothing to do with it.
