[quote=Anonymous]If you think DCE/BLC is thriving, I don’t know what to tell you. DCE 2028 is a top 20 team. Below that, there’s not a single top team 50 team in the entire (boys) organization, and a lot of their A teams were ranked below 100. As a poster above points out, DCE/BLC has been raided year after year by NL (and ML to a lesser extent)—we’ll see what happens for 2028 in a few months as this is the money summer for that class. In terms of player movement between the three DMV teams, recent history doesn’t show that there’s a lot of net benefit to DCE (unless you measure benefit simply by the number of players enrolled). Most (not all) of the players who cycle between the three DMV teams are players who are dissatisfied with their playing time on the A team or who are stuck on the B team. (Obviously not true in all cases.) DCE certainly isn't going to magically become more competitive by skimming from the bottom 1/2 of NL and ML. And it’s not like players keep grinding it out year after year cycling through teams if they are unhappy—that’s when a lot of kids quit.

I’d love to see DCE/BLC succeed. IMO, that starts with retaining the 2028 team and thinking hard about how to fix the problems that are endemic to its younger teams.[/quote]
