Little League Baseball Draft

[redbirdjazzz]

Trades in little league? Wow. That's... wow.

Yeah, I'm finding this whole topic a little strange. Little League Draft, trading 7 year olds from team to team?

Yup. This is all striking me as a super creepy way to treat small children.

Yeah, you get a night to trade the players. Once the rosters are set the next night, there aren't any trades. No one knows other than the coaches and gatewayredbirds.com. There were probably 10 players traded overall. We sent a player we drafted back to his original tea in exchange to get a guy from our original team back.

Since yinz seemed so appalled, what do your leagues do?

in our league, the players perform physical challenges in front of a large studio audience who grade them. the losers are dunked in green slime and form their own team in a different league in a town 30 miles south.

Not appalled, just found it strange. I don't have kids, so not really in tune w/ how little leagues are handled these days.
