This past Saturday officially began the month of Movember. Go follow our pals at Hugging Harold Reynolds and help fight prostate cancer. I take the Ethics and Professional Responsibility portion of the Bar Exam tomorrow. Don’t ask me why. I think I am the only 2L at UF taking it. To tell you the truth, […]
Keeping on the theme of baseball for the day, just came across an LA Times article highlighting Scott Boras. I find it kind of humorous, because while there are a ton of agents who do great work for their clients, it seems like Boras and Rosenhaus are the only ones that the mass media finds […]
The owners and GMs are crying for help while the agents are saying that the sport may benefit from a hurting economy. Who should you believe?

Tiger Woods once again tops the overall list, but how did our guys who were mentioned last year […]
Only three players in the first round did not sign with the teams that selected them in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. The previous statement may not hold true if it is found that Pedro Alvarez and Eric Hosmer were signed after the deadline. That being said, of the three players who went unsigned, Aaron […]
From a recent 7-page piece in the New York Daily News: [Scott] Boras most definitely does not look like an agent spurned, like a man taken to the baseball woodshed. The most influential and controversial agent in Major League Baseball is still the king of the agents, still the man many players want on the […]

Boras was ridiculed for the timing of the announcement and Rodriguez was portrayed as just another greedy player wanting more money. The majority of Yankee fans could care less if Rodriguez returned […]
