There’s a reason the guy is so powerful. Pete Abe:
Scott Boras has a suite right behind the plate at Angel Stadium and almost always arrives early to watch batting practice and consult with his clients. At one point yesterday, Johnny Damon, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez were literally lined up to speak to Boras.
Boras may or may not be worthy of such fealty, but ask yourself: if you’re a young up-and-coming player and you see a half a billion dollars worth of contracts lining up to talk to the guy, aren’t you going to at least consider throwing your agent over the side to get with him?
