Baseball Fever Experts,
Received the following email and looking for some advice on how to respond:
"Managers and Coaches,
This is a reminder that if you are interested in a post season manager position you need to emaill your interest to the ELL Hotmail account by May 25 (Friday) at 11:59 PM."
Obviously, I'd love the chance to help out with the TOC team, but don't want to come off as presumptuous, especially since I'm not sure SOCOM Jr will even make the team. I was considering responding that "I'd love to help coach the Minor TOC team if my son, SOCOM Jr, is fortunate enough to be selected." But don't want to sound as though I'm only doing it so that SOCOM Jr gets selected. How do you think I should respond? Thanks.
Some background:
SOCOM Jr is a 9u playing in 9/10 age group after playing as an 8u and being selected for the 7/8 TOC team last year in his first year playing. I was asked to help coach a team, basically to get SOCOM Jr on this manager's team, and during assessments he was unanimously assessed as a "1st rounder" taking away our team's 1st round pick (only 9u player given 1st round grade). He's had arm issues and hasn't pitched much, but still played the best SS I saw all season and hit really well, but I'm not sure if he played "as a 1st rounder," but I'm typically more critical of him than others. I don't play the backroom political games either, which makes me think he might not make it, even though I feel he deserves it.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
