the guy's a franchise player, lock him up asap
-
"right now" means f*** all, its 12 games into the season. overall, I think the habs, rangers, capitals, flyers and penguins are all clearly better and then the hurricanes, senators, sabres and devils are all marginally better
-
Mike Green was a restricted free agent I believe though, the Bruins couldnt have signed him unless they paid him stupid money
-
So you would realistically stop watching baseball completely if the Dodgers or Tigers sign Varitek to 4 years at $52 million? Thats being ridiculous
-
I dont know if it wouldve been wise for the Bruins to make a splash in the free agent defenceman market this past off-season considering the stupid spending that took place but signing Ryder limits their cap flexibility this season in potentially trading for Jay Bouwmeester for example, who makes a very reasonable $4.8 million. I'm not sure what it's their farm system but the good news for you guys is that they could still potentially trade for Bouwmeester and then sign him to a long-term deal cause you guys have a lot of cap space next year. After Chara, there's a severe drop-off in quality defenseman and when you look at a cup contender, there's at least three, if not four, very good defencemen
-
im saying the Bruins are gonna come down to earth are youre gonna wish the team spent $4 mil on a defenseman instead Ryder is the Julio Lugo of the Bruins

While nothing has been proven, yea I think he can be unethical but people here are calling him a prick cause he set the benchmark of Varitek's next contract at 4 years and $52 mil and I just don't agree with that
-
right, but its been heavily implied that the Boras had an agreement in place with the Sox for more years and money before Drew opted out with the Dodgers, therefore while he was still under contract. it seemed fishy cause there didn't seem to be any other suitors when Drew opted out yet the Sox still offered a lot of years at a lot more money
-
yea, Wideman's doing fine but my point is, if you allow guys like Boyes to leave, you're forced to go out and make stupid signings like Michael Ryder. And as far as Blake Wheeler goes, that guy fell right into your lap, I have no clue how or why Phoenix let him go
-
Doesnt make it ok but at a certain point, the f***ing players themselves need to take some accountability. And people need to stop blaming Boras for the Manny fiasco, hes a 36 year old man. Boras may have said if he were to find a way to become a free agent, he could get him a much better deal but as far as he's concerned, if Manny walked into John Henry's office and said he doesn't want the FO to pick up the options, then mission accomplished. Manny pulled all that childish crap cause he's an cocksucking prick, not being his agent told him to shove a travelling secretary. What he did at the WS was in poor taste but lets not act like he sat behind home plate and burned an American flag. I'm not a Boras apologist but IMO, he shouldn't need to apologize for who he is, he's the most successful agent in all of sports right now and he has an amazing track record of being able to negotiate tremendous contracts for his clients.
-
a lot of people still argue his lack of ethics are why JD Drew is in Boston right now
-
As far as Scott Boras is concerned, the state of the game is just fine. He keeps finding teams to give his clients massive contracts. Like I said, MLB is responsible to trying to maintain competitive balance, they remain the only league out of the big four to not have a salary cap. Boras is simply taking advantage of the economic system MLB chooses to use.
-
His job isn't to keep the competitive balance in MLB, his job is to get the players who hire him the most money he can. If there is to be competitive balance in baseball, its up to MLB to find a way to implement a salary cap.
-
yea, I'll admit the stunt he pulled during the WS was a bit dick-ish but to call him a dick because of the way he does business is just wrong
-
Thats Ned's token offer so LA fans don't bitch him out
-
well done, JE
-
how is he a prick? I still dont understand that part
-
I dont listen to anything unless its from Stark, Olney, Gammons or Heyman and even then....
-
You're comparing a guy who helped a client get away with murder with a guy who helps clients get more money? Really?
-
who the hell is Baggarly?
-
how is he is a dick? his job is to get the most money he can for his client, that's why he has the most amount of high-profile players he won't get 4 years and $52 mil for Varitek but he will get someone to overpay for him hell, we should all be so good at our jobs

Hunter certainly earned that GG in the ALDS

Best LF in the AL
