That's not true? If it is true the fact that they haven't played the game for a while would be approximately made up for by the fact that they are older and even more athletic. We are talking here about playing 16 and 17 year olds from an average high school.

It is true and I think you are right with your pick.
Still I wouldn't totally write off the kids, because I had a weird twillight zone type of experience once.
I am living in Europe and around 1990 there was an exhibition where an US army team with a few former semi-pros up to A-A level got totally owned by a team of 14-16 year old kids. If I remember correctly the kids were called "San Diego Baseball Ambassadors". Their pitchers were throwing smoke and not one but two of their hitters homered out of the ballpark on the roof of a house.
I'd say that this was a bunch of physical "freaks" and they certainly don't grow on trees like that, but it shows me what kids can do.
