Discussion: gsc bat latest web site update

Chip,
I may be wrong but when someone buys a company don’t they get all the company’s assets and liabilities? I’m assuming they bought the debt-it doesn’t go away just because they “say” they are not responsible. Also I was wondering if you could share Steve MacKinlay’s previous experience as a ”CEO” as well as any previous experience he has in manufacturing bats, or sporting goods, or anything for that matter.

Discussion: Should SSUSA ever bump a team?

Tim,
I agree with Jawood. Nobody is ever asking a AA, AAA, or major team to "break up", they are asking them to "play up" in the next division. Once they get to major plus there is no place to ask them to play up to.

Do you mean that you don't think the GSC is coming out soon and will revolutionize the bat industry?

What about the GSC? Is that why Miken has changed their specs?

Discussion: To all the softball purists

Gary 19,
I read a post above in this discussion and it mentioned the first player to wear a finger-less glove and all the "Purists" were outraged and the thought of using "technology" would ruin the game. Can you imagine the game of baseball without gloves or football without helmets today. One of many rule changes in basketball - the 3 point shot. I can't imagine the game today without it.
At what point in time would you have liked the game of baseball, football, basketball, softball to have been frozen?

Discussion: Something I doubt you know about Congress.

Taits- do you really believe that Obama was not born in America and somehow became president through a giant conspiracy? Wow. That changes my opinion of you. I've read you posts on here and thought you had a lot of good opinions. But now you sort of lose all credibility. I mean... that's just nuts.

Discussion: What should a healthy senior program look like?

Actually Tim you do sound like a bit of a socialist when you start trying to punish (break up) those who have succeeded through competition for the good of the whole.

Discussion: rosters

I kind of remember several years ago about a major plus player named Bruce Walker not being able to play with anyone because he was a major plus player. I think the Mavericks wanted him tomplay with them. Keep in mind this was 6 or 7 years ago and the Mavericks weren't very good then (not the good team they put together with local southern california players about 4 years ago), taking their lumps in the Major Plus division. I watched them get beat by a couple local AAA and major teams and I was thinking they needed some help. Yet they couldn't pick this player up. And they were a Major Plus team!? Wouldn't that have made them less of the "woopin boy" at that time? And allowed another person to play Senior Softball?

Discussion: rosters

I remember reading here about major plus players who couldn't play because there were no major plus teams in their area (touching states). Now they can play. Which means more players available. Let's assume, for the sake of argument you are correct (I'm not so sure) and they go to the best team. In this case a couple of players from existing rosters will become available. Which means more players. More players will eventually lead to more teams.

Why would you assume that the best major plus teams would be willing to pick up the new available crop of players? If their teams are set and the pick-up is only roughly as good as their existing player, why would they get rid of an existing player to add someone roughly the same?

Discussion: rosters

Wouldn't allowing players from non bordering states increase the number of major plus players available? Seems that would increase membership at the major plus level. More players = more teams.when I do the math, that's what I come up with.
