Scott Boras is Human
I realize some people may get at least a little upset at me for making this post under the circumstances, but I thought it was not making fun of the event but of Boras himself. So, on to the real reason I started this post. It is possible that a number of people sat in shock and awe as they saw Scott Boras, of all people, crying yesterday. Even considering what happened I think some people would not have pictured Boras caring that much. I imagine there were a number of people saying and thinking wow.

1. Who Knew?
Yeah, that struck me as well. He seems like such a tool most of the time, that i was pleasantly surprised to see that human side of him.

I guess these sort of tragedies do reveal the inner person.

16. You all just hate Boras because he does his job better than....
the other agents? I don't get that. And for every dollar Boras or any other agent for that matter, leaves on the table... that's another $$$ that an owner gets to keep.

So you all pull for the owners to keep the money over the players?

I don't understand why?

21. Try Reading Next Time
Then you wouldn't put any of those words into my mouth. Since i never said them, i would guess they came from your mind. That doesn't mean i think them, though.

You're acting like some kind of jerk, you know.

22. No
I do not dislike Scott Boras. In addition, I do not think many people dislike him just because of the money he gets his clients. I think most people dislike him, if they even dislike him, becuse of the way he goes about doing things.

2. Oh yeah.
Nobody is totally evil...most people have good qualities even if we don't often see it. And yes, I was struck by his GENUINE grief...

3. I have to agree. He still has dollar signs in his eyes and
I'm not a big fan.

But that was genuine grief.

If anything, it shows what a nice kid the player must have been.

4. I was surprised as well...
I just hope he wasn't crying because an up and coming pitcher died before he signed his first big contract.

Some prospective client is now saying: "LOOK, HE REALLY CARES ABOUT ME".

Fuck him. He's a fucking snake.

10. Scott Boras can retire today if he wants.
I don't think he's going to have to sell a yacht because he lost money on a rookie contract.
