    The Mets, Jason Bay, Bay's agent to name a few. When it comes down to it though, does it really matter where the information came from? It was non-privileged medical information that's not at all damaging to his marketability or his reputation.

    Do you seriously need to insult the other poster every time you disagree with them? You're the one claiming that A-Rod will be better off in 2009 now that he no longer lacks something that yourself say doesn't exist. You yourself said that no one cared what he did in the regular season, and now you're acting like up until now he was under a lot of pressure in the regular season. You can't have it four different ways. I don't have a hard time believing that A-Rod will have a good year, he's a great player. But I don't think his regular season performance will be effected by winning the World Series. There's a reason he was called Mr. April, he had no problem coming up with clutch hits in the regular season.

    Gammons probably got the information from someone on the Red Sox. It wasn't privileged medical information, so they had no reason to not tell him. But there are plenty of other places he could have reasonably gotten the information. I'd be surprised if the Mets weren't away of the MRI and the opinion of Boston's doctors.

    Even if Bay's agent was to file a law suit, it would have been pretty difficult to prove that the Sox doctors haven't made reasonably accurate judgments given the Sox past decisions on Nomar, Lowe, Pedro and Damon. I'm sure Jacksonsian is going to make some weak arguemnt now about how the Sox would have been better had they re-signed Damon. But the fact remains that they wouldn't have had a spot for him with Drew, Ellsbury and Manny/Bay in the outfield, all of which have been much more productive than Damon (if you include offense AND defense).

    I don't agree with everything you said, but the Sox didn't run a smear campaign against Nomar before he was traded. It was national TV announcers who started the controversy about him being the only member of the team sitting on the bench during important games. And the Red Sox would have been idiots to sign him to a deal in 2004. He only played 81 games that year and he played less than 70 games in 3 of his next 5 years. I don't want this to become a huge controversy, but given his decline and his injury history, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a product of steroids in the early 2,000's.

    I was debating because it sounded like you thought they have a policy of running smear campaigns against FA's they let go. I think we broth pretty much agree that they handled the Bay situation the right way.

    Professors, employers, supervisors, etc. have every right to give out factual information about their employees, whether it's negative or not. I may not be a high and mighty nurse like you but I have a decent enough job which pays the rent, is personally fulfilling and contributes to the betterment of society. I really can't complain.

    I'll give you points for creativity, I've never heard that line from a troll yet. "I think your opinion is absurd. You must not have a job."
  18. Imperial59
    And this is why people call you a troll.

    That's as much bull as when you claimed the Sox violated HIPPA. You're just sensationalizing what actually happened at this point. You've thrown any resemblance of logic or objectivity right out the window.
  22. Imperial59
    Why do the Sox have to have a motive to release non-privileged information? They release information about a player's health when they do sign the player as well. Drew's shoulder issues were made public when he signed, Schilling's weight clauses were made public as well. The only one who has a motive to release it is Gammons because it gives him a story.

    Of course you are. I'm sure you're projecting highly optimistic seasons for 90% of the Yankees roster.
  25. Imperial59
    Sounds like there already wasn't any pressure on him in the regular season. There goes your argument that he's prime for a monster year because of all the pressure that was on him last year. Now you've really got yourself mixed up.
