What an inspiring story... way to go Josh! Makes my kidney transplant seem like a head cold. Talk about perseverance.

Josh, can you provide some light on the important and not-so-important factors that aid a player in making a decision between two competing offers? There was a spirited discussion in another thread and perhaps you can shed some light on this.

Is the decision based on a handful of factors ("I want to play for that manager" or "I want to play in that ballpark" or "I want to play in that town") or can it get to something more in-depth such as investigating which team will be more competitive, which ballpark would be more favorable to that particular hitter, who would be other players in that organization at the same position (majors and minors)?

How much research is prepared by the player and how much by the agent?

Josh had surgery Wednesday. It might be a few days for him to get back to you.

Also, no matter what an agent says. It is about the money. And the opportunity to put yourself in a position to make more money.

Don't want to derail this thread. This should be about Josh. Sorry.

I wish him a swift recovery. With good results.
