What happened to the days when a coach/staff worked hard to prepare their players to the best of their ability? At the end of the season you went to battle with the girls and parents that were with you through the good and bad. I can understand if a few players were injured, but come on. Let me see, I can grab a few elite players (whom I have nothing to do with their development) and try and compete in a tournament that's suppose to be about the players. In the world of travel baseball rosters are frozen to eliminate such acts. I'm sure the players and parents who stuck it out all year want their daughter playing the position she earned rather than the coach bringing in a better player to play her position. Coaches, take so pride and win with what you have.
Actually Travel Baseball is a ton worse than these guys. Yes rosters are frozen but in most orgs you can add/drop 3 to the roster. Very few restrictions especially in AAU, UTrip, Triple Crown, and NABF. Only TbS and NYBC have strict roster rules...
I think it's more desperation with these guys than wanting to be competitive. That's just not gonna happen cause any game changers are locked up by now.
