So you think he'll end up a Ranger after all is said and done?

I may believe that if it wasn't for the fact that all signs point to Zito wanting to come to New York. Much like A-Rod with Texas, he (after the fact) said he wanted to play in New York but took the money and went to Texas (a terrible situation). Don't think for a second the thought process isn't running through Zito's mind.

I agree Merv that no way Andy Pettite deserves that kind of cash. Imagine how screwed the Yankees would be if there was a salary cap?

If a salary cap was imposed the yankees would be the first to go from 1st to worst. But that is another topic

Zito seems to not being doing much along the lines of visiting teams and such but he will still get every cent that he wants in the end. Zito will never be in a position where he will have to lower his standards in order to find a team to take him.

I know Zito is bordering on great and give him all the credit in the world but he shouldn't be the highest paid pitcher in baseball because he's not of that status.

No way the Mets get Barry Zito. I guarantee it. It shouldn't even be spoken about with that leech of an agent representing him.

You may not like Boras but he is the agent of ones Carlos Beltran, Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey.

[MJHMarc]

Boras represents Pelfry, too?

His competitors should file an investigation with the government, because Boras may be monopolizing the Sports Agents' industry. And if you weren't aware, monopolies are illegal and unlawful.

Boras gets what he wants, when he wants it.

I'm sure there are other Agents and Agencies who have just as many clients as he does.

Yep i'm with Marc on this one. I should do a photography piece on him like I did the All Star Game. I hate his guts! Not Marc, I like him. I mean Boras!!!

[EmpireWF]

lol that's a pretty strong thing to say about a guy you've never met.

[Trashed]

Ok since you demanded it! I give you Scott Boras!!!

[EmpireWF]

All I know is if I was a MLB player, I'd want Boras as my agent.
