A buddy of mine is convinced……

[champdawg.sixpack]

We should look south for some baseball players. Specifically,Venezuela. Claims we could save a ton of nil because the kids down there just want to play and get to the dance eventually. Or if they flame out, they are still in Merica

I’d rather see the college athletics landscape continue on its path of deterioration than do that.

I thought it was the Dominican that is known to price big leaguers. Not that Venezuela doesn’t, just haven’t heard that before.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I like the idea, but I think the biggest hurdle will be academic eligibility. There are Very different academic standards between US high schools and much of rural central/South America. Of course, academics don’t really matter anymore, so who knows

Japan, I’d start contacting their baseball academies.

This is the right answer if we’re going international.

If you haven't seen what a Chilean left fielder can do well then buddy I don't what to tell ya.

Extremely difficult to get South/Central American high schoolers eligible. Would have to get them here for a year at a prep school.

Japan and South Korea are where this idea can matriculate.

[Puppers]

International players can sign with MLB teams at age 16

 

[stateu1]

Inserts Bad News Bears quote that likely gets me banned.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Stupid idea

They would definitely enjoy the LFL post game plates.

ACADEMICS?!?!?!
You mean these now hired “employees” and we have to worry about academics?!?
WTF?!??
17 Greg Sankey
17 the SEC and any other conference
17 the nutless NCAA
17 the lawyers and judges who made $$ and ruined college athletics.
17 those O’Bannon bros at UCLA who started this whole ****
17 ole miss !

 

[kired]

Not much different than what track & field does, or basketball bringing in 7ft Europeans & Africans

Our last Latino was Polo. Right?

It's fine, we have a tutor on staff.

 

[fedxdog]

If it was a good idea, some Florida school would already be doing it.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Anyone from Venezuela or the Dominican Republic good enough to play on our team would have already signed a pro contract before turning 18.

There may be opportunities in Japan or South Korea if we wanted to go that route, as they could play here 3 years and then go straight to the MLB Draft, bypassing NPB/KBO altogether, if that's something they're interested in.

 

[champdawg.sixpack]

Honduras is another one

If Jap players, will have to expand LFL menu into some Sushi and Squid.

You must be either an atheist or a Baptist.

Either way they’ll tell you eventually.

We need a six pack "my buddy is convinced......." thread.

Well my buddy is convinced he's a compulsive liar.....
I don't believe him

 

[Dawg Raid]

George Costanza is on standby to head there and scout some talent out after he leaves Cuba

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Didn’t he pitch against us Sunday?

I've never heard MLB called the dance before, and I suspect I never will again.

How have you never heard it called that? There's a whole song about it, for petes sakes!
