Wow, this is amazing. The thread started out as a congratulation thread for the DIRTBAGS and look at the turn it made. All this negativity about the Bags sounds to me like a bunch of jealous people. Everyone says: it is about the kids: by some of these messages i have read it is all about your kid. I am real close to the Canes, Panthers, CBC, and Dirtbag organizations and i can tell you first hand they are all the SAME. As a family you spend money on travel, hotel and food, game entry fee, regardless if your son team, cost to play for that team is free or if it cost to play. Everyone of these organizations has players that has played for another organization at one time. But all you ever hear is AP takes people players. If you are going to play the blame game blame the parents, i don't think he puts a gun to anyone's head and make them play for him. Everyone of these organizations has brought in players for big tournaments because they ALL go there to win. Again all you hear is AP brings in hired guns to win. Dirtbags will not play in other people tournaments, how about other people will not play in Impact Tournaments. It goes both ways. Personally i wish all the teams would play each other because the kids would be the one's benefiting. Why they don't play i don't know and the coaches are the only one who does. I am friends with all the showcase coaches that is mention frequently on this board and i can say that they all look out for their players and other players on other teams to try and get them to the next level. They all are different and have different ways of doing things but the results are the same. I have said many times that their are organizations for everyone and if one doesnt work for you please don't trash them , just find the right fit for you because it is out there and enjoy the ride, because it does end. I am not being AP or the DirtBags protector because he or his organization doesn't need it because results are FACTS and not speculations. When the Canes won the Championship i was happy for them, just like when the Panthers, ON DECK, CBC, Heat or any other NC team win theirs i will be happy because the one benefiting will be the kids on the team and the up and coming ballplayers who will play. The College Coaches, Pro scouts nationwide now know we can play, because of the Championships that the Canes and DirtBags have brought home.The more we win the more scouts they will send to see our kids play all over this state.

The funny thing is that several of these players from canes/dirtbags will be on the same college team like North Carolina or South Carolina for example, so none of this will really matter.

The Dirtbags are about getting kids to the next level not about winning every tournament they play. How many players lost the chance to play at Fort Myers or East Cobb Or Jupiter because of players from all over the country being brought in so the Canes could maybe win a tournament.When I looked at the roster going to Jupiter I saw players from every state on the East Coast.Showcase baseball is about getting players a chance to play at the next level.Its not about whats on the front of the shirt...

Someone has you snowed. LOL

If you think any of these teams dont play to win you dont know them very well. The priority for all these teams are to get their players in college, but make NO mistake about it, they all play to win.

They are baseball coaches and baseball players, its in their blood to compete.

A most ill informed statement/question. You need to do some research if you think that the Bags, and other organizations don't do this.

I can only speak to this year but all of the Dirtbags this year, from June through Jupiter, were all NC kids. I know because my son was one of them

On Deck doesn't "bring kids in" - as some of the other squads do.
