Not me. I have too much integrity to have such a slimy salamander as Boras trying to con other teams for money and destroying the sport of baseball for future generations. Soon utility infielders will be getting paid 100 mil a year and their salary, parks they play in, etc. Soon baseball will simply be too expensive to be played professionally and it'll be becauses of scum like Boras. I would spit in Boras' face if he offered to represent me but then again that's why i'm known as "The Master of Morality" and in my opinion a great role model for children.

Did Boras hit you, or something? You seem to have a nasty grudge against him.

Why blame Boras though? Why not blame the owners who actually write the checks and approve the big deals? If they didn't want to pay such exorbant amounts of money, they wouldn't.

Boras has 1 job. To ensure that his clients receive a great deal for them and their family. It's not his job to worry about future generations and what may or may not be. Remember, Boras was a player and he's from a time when players didn't get much.

Hey! I'm a crazy man! It's not my job to think about the ramifications of what I am doing!

Touche...good point.

Nevertheless, that's the Commissioner's job, no?

It's his job but it's everyone's responsibility to do what's best for the sport of baseball. Boras is seeking short term money at the expense of long term disaster like another strike looming ala 1994. So money of course is important but like the movie with Kevin Costner you have to do stuff "For The Love Of The Game."

And the topic was Barry Zito, not Boras.
