Comments on: Manny + Scott Boras = FUN! http://www.outincenterfield.com/2008/02/we_really_should_have_expected/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:31:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/ hourly 1 By: Texas Gal http://www.outincenterfield.com/2008/02/we_really_should_have_expected/comment-page-1/#comment-9097 Texas Gal Sun, 24 Feb 2008 23:28:56 +0000 http://d1077806.u46.nozonenet.com/wp/?p=1054#comment-9097 The contract isn't up at the end of the fall, though - the club holds two options. So if the Sox want to exercise them, he'll have to stay... whether Boras likes it or not. I just don't know if the Sox will choose to exercise them.

Boras is the only person in baseball I hate more than A-Rod, and that's saying something. Add in the fact that the contract's up this fall and you might as well run around in circles screaming that the sky's falling, a la Chicken Little.

This kinda makes Manny seem like he doesn't think Theo is going to pick up his option next year. Keep up the great writing..... ex-pat from RI in CO At least the Sox have the options for 2009-2011 which means they can pick up M anny with no new negotiations for a while.

I figure Varitek handles Boras like you'd handle a rabid dog - keep him chained up in a basement far, far away - and only unleash him when it's absolutely necessary. I love it when I win!

A-Rod <i>is</i> evil incarnate - but Tek is the living embodiment of All That Is Good. And the guy is associated with both. I guess that makes him a pure mercenary. OK, you win. Well, that I get.

Dang. I have such a hard time getting anywhere close to that when someone connected with A-Rod is involved. Are you telling me I have to be LOGICAL and RATIONAL? Dang.

Whatever Boras did to him is not just going to go away. Sheffield is one man I would NOT want angry with me. But, Boras must be doing something right if he has these well-respected players as clients. No? I agree that Sheffield is a loon, but he is a pretty pissed off loon.

I think Sheffield may know a thing or two about bad men. Not that the source is terribly reliable but Gary Sheffield says Boras is a bad man. I think Sheffield may know a thing or two about bad men.
