that is actually a very good idea for teams that are struggling to fill a team. swallow your pride and combine with another team that is struggling. at least some then the kids can still play at some level. But then some Dad is going to have to give up control. well let dad think about others for a change. it's cool being just dad on the sideline.

If DE is taking players that were already on another team, then yes that's poaching. If DE took a player that someone already knew was leaving, well that's not the same as poaching. Just suspect! I heard BBC is losing their B team players to other teams. The firing of the coach may have made others not too pleased. So apparently Parents and kids that were on a team werent happy and those parents reached out to DE. Not sure if you call this case poaching. Apparently there was something that made the parents reach out. Scott Grossi isnt that guy. This is youth baseball. Parents ultimately do what they feel is best for their kids. No one is obligated to a team that will not help their kids develop.

There are just too many teams. Every team shouldn't have a b team.
Stefanoni needs to shut that SW Silver team down. They've lost their best pitchers and catcher. Coaching is the big issue their. The rest of the kids there should go play rec ball this season. There's nothing wrong with rec ball.
BBC doesnt need a B team, Severna Park doesnt need a B team, White Marsh doesn't need 2 teams just to name a few.

I agree with both of these points. Only problem I see is most rec seasons are short. Most of the orgs I know of its only 10-15 games tops, with practice one day a week. I think more teams need to realize what competition they should and shouldn't be playing. If you are a B level team with .500 record why are you signing up to play in a tournament where the other 8 teams in it are full of studs?

Pad the season with some rec all star tourneys. Play other sports. The world of travel ball is not for everyone. As the previous poster mentioned, there are too many travel teams.

As the previous poster mentioned, there are too many travel teams. By 12U, only the future D1 commits should still be playing travel ball. No more dad coaches either. Only professional, paid coaches with no kids on the team. Bat 9, no free defensive substitutions either. Get them ready for the big leagues. Texas/Florida tournaments, with a handful of Delmarva tournaments mixed in for development purposes.

All of these 1 team "clubs" today are watering it down. Why do DE, BBC, SW, Marucci even exist? Because some coach couldn't stand being told what to do by their rec organization and started their own team.

Maybe they were offering something better than what the local Rec Councils were providing. And Yes, maybe the Rec Council’s baseball heads had ego issues. Ego and a personal agenda will fracture any good organization. these teams will be gone in a few years, so maybe some of the local rec councils can reflect and learn from their mistakes or possibly get the right leaders in place.
