Do premier high school/college players request scott boras?

[310Casper]

Lets face it, Boras is the guy who will get you the most money. If i was a premier top 10 draft pick kinda guy, I'd immediately call Scott Boras myself and tell all other agents who want to represent me to stop bugging. By now, I'm sure the "Scott Boras" name is engraved in every baseball players head from the age of 15.

Do you think Boras no longer even has to worry about scouting? I wonder if premier players just knock on his front door.

I would think that Boras, or any other agent for that matter, would come to you first. I don't think there's any rule that he can't talk to any high school/college player, though.

What he does really pisses off a lot of people.

[SenorGato]

They should, and if they are that good he usually gets them. Boras = the man. As big as anyone else in baseball history for getting baseball players treated like humans rather than the cattle the NFL treats their players as.

In his interview with Kevin Goldstein and Jason Parks a while back on their podcast he claimed 100's of amateur players, college and high school, call his agency every year, and they have to actually turn the large majority of guys down, and select the ones they consider the prime talents.

He's the Gordon Gekko of baseball agents

An agent who's really good at getting his clients obscenely generous contracts, i.e. Barry Zito and Jason Werth getting 7 years/$126 million, ARod's $252 and $275 million contracts, Prince Fielder getting $214 million from the Tigers.

Oh ok. Thank you

Otherwise known as Scott Bor@$$ (killing two birds with one stone by calling him a mean name and using dollar signs at the same time).

I'd love to be able to hear in on some of his meetings with general managers. Just to see what he says and does that separates him from the rest.

Wow, impressive.


I was assuming he just solicited the **** out of them.

I've heard that Alex Anthopoulos chooses to avoid doing business with him, although I'm not really sure of the validity of that rumor.
