Question
Tom,
What is the earliest date in which MLB Scouting Bureau post the 2010 Tryout camp schedule?
Do you know of/is there a 2010 tryout schedule for the minors?
Are there tryouts for independent leagues? If so, where is a could place to find that information?
Thank you so much
Nate
mate,
there is no set date.
there are no minors tryouts. tryouts are conducted by MLB. minor league teams are owned by their ML affiliates therefore, they are ML tryouts.
independent leagues are separate from mlb. you'd have to contact the individual league for tryout information.
good luck.

Expertise
I am am best suited to answer questions regarding minor league baseball prospects.
Experience
Originally, i started doing this because I became engrossed researching prospects for a fantasy league. Back then all I really wanted to do was answer questions about baseball prospects.
Funny how time flies but eleven years later I have been asked questions regarding the negro leagues, what minor leaguers get paid, why players don't rub their injury when they get hurt, and how players can tryout for the minor leagues to name only a few. I was recently in correspondence with a father of a marine who lost several fingers while in Iraq; he was later drafted by the Padres and is playing in their minor league system. Additionally, i get a lot of questions from guys asking me if i think they can be successful at these tryouts or if they should tryout at all.
I do my best to answer every one's question without overstepping my bounds of knowledge. *sometimes i have to tell people that I just can't answer their question.* And sometimes I have to tell people that they just aren't good enough to be a professional ball player.*
Most recently i have received two negative feedbacks from people who didn't like my response. one 30 year old guy who hadn't played since he was a teenager asked me if he really had a shot at making the tryouts. realistically, i said no. i guess he didn't appreciate my bluntness but what would you have wanted me to say?
I am not really an 'expert' in anything. I just answer people's inquires, give some conservative advise or tell them 'I don't know.' After eleven years I have realized that i do fulfill most most questioners satisfactorily which keeps me doing this.
