At the end of the day, donโ€™t choose an organization because itโ€™s the cheapest or even because itโ€™s the most expensive. Choose the one that gives your player the best opportunity to improve as a baseball player and grow as a young man.

The right question isnโ€™t, โ€œWhat does it cost?โ€
The right question is, โ€œWhat value does my player receive for that investment?โ€

That answer will often tell you far more than the price tag ever will.
