There are a couple of good reads at the All-Star break surrounding the state of Major League Baseball. Both involve money. One says that the more money a team spends, the much better chance it has to be at the top of its division (the opposite for teams who don’t spend). So teams should spend […]
In many’s eyes, Albert Pujols is the best baseball player around and quite frankly, his numbers support that claim. Pujols’ career statistics are superior than many of the other players that hold down spots on the highest-paid list in the MLB; names such as Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter and Carlos Beltran. […]
This Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up is coming to you from the capitol of Florida: Tallahassee. Yesterday, I woke up (actually barely even slept because of chirping birds all night) at roughly 6 a.m. to get my girlfriend ready for her MCAT. Thankfully that battle is behind us. I feel like I have been studying for […]
Wow, it has been a very long and draining week. But I expected as much going into it. We have been dealing with the MLB Draft nonstop and will continue to work with our guys who were and were not drafted in the coming months. Additionally, we will begin to look at 2010 and beyond […]
What took them so long? As sports agents, we have a fiduciary duty to act in our clients’ best interests at all times. That includes informing them of the ramifications of abusing an illegal substance. It also means that we can’t be pushing or selling performance enhancing drugs to our clients. All of us would […]
Hey Jews…enjoying Passover yet? Nothing like some matzoh pizza. Bored at work? Play a game that allows you to choose whether to hit the gym or juice it up. I am spending most of this Passover weekend up in Tallahassee with my girlfriend and her parents. Only a couple of weeks until the NFL Draft. […]
Andrew Johnson absolutely killed it at his workout with the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints on hand. Dynasty is two-years-old today. Happy birthday to us. Become a fan of Dynasty on Facebook. Looking like we will have at least one client start in AA this year and a few at High A. Austin’s busy […]
I absolutely love the Geico Kash logo. So Akron’s Pro Day was pushed back a week. At first, I was upset. Now, I realize that it may be a good thing. Our guys will continue to eat well and train, and hopefully the change of date will allow more scouts to attend the Pro Day. […]
How would you feel about this? You are an all-star athlete and you are about to sign a monster contract. Then, without notice, the GM says, “Ok, son. You will be paid a bonus if you bring in more fans to the stadium.” WOW! Believe it or not, this statement has been said to a […]
Every day, ESPN informs us that something new has happened in the Manny Ramirez/Scott Boras/Ned Colletti/Los Angeles Dodgers negotiations, yet nothing has changed. No deal has been made and Manny/Boras have little leverage; the baseball economy has shrunk and teams are not willing to spend THAT much money. Sure, the Yankees have spent a great […]
