If being a jerk was a qualified baseball statistic, Scott Boras would be in the Hall of Fame. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3556133 Baseball insiders were concerned that a good prospect like Pedro Alvarez would drop in the draft because of his representation by Boras. But things seemingly were well when the Pirates drafted him #2 and they signed him to a reasonable deal. Now Boras tells the Pirates he wants to renegotiate Alvarez's deal which includes a $6million signing bonus. Is this not enough money for a guy coming out of college? And to blame it on a technicality which may or may not even exist is Boras' thin excuse for why this is acceptable? THEY AGREED TO AND SIGNED A CONTRACT! I hope the Pirates don't cave in and they let Alvarez rot or go play with the Fort Worth Cats or something and I hope it costs him.

In the real world, when people show they have no ethics in their business dealings, they eventually run out of people to do business with. This is what should happen to Scott Boras. He consistently shows his lack of ethics and baseball teams should quit dealing with him. The repercussions would last maybe two years tops and then baseball would be the better for it because players would stop hiring him. Kenny Rogers woke up. Gary Sheffield woke up. Alex Rodriguez woke up. All major stars who realized despite the money Boras' commanded on their behalf, his representation might not be worth the journey. Baseball should wake up. Force him to do business the right way or force him out of the game.
