He's the King of Vegas. But did you know...
Scotty is also President of the Scott Boras Corporation!
His company headquarters has what the Scottster calls “the war room!”
Scott gets up at 5 a.m., does strenuous exercises, then phones the East Coast from home to learn what's up.
Scott has a doctorate in industrial pharmacology.
In college, the Scottilingus roomed with current USC coach Pete Carroll.
Scott Boras Corp. has about 65 employees and 65 clients -- a handler for every client.
In 1974, Scott signed with the Cardinals for $8,000; he played four minor league seasons for the Cards and Cubs but never rose above AA.
Parroting the owners, as they once did with Marvin Miller, sportswriters despise Scottmo. He's the "antiChrist" and the "most hated man in baseball." Chicago Tribune's Rick Morrissey once called him, "a very, very bad man." Don't get Billy Madden started.
In 1997, the Phillies drafted J.D. Drew as the first pick and offered him $3 million. Scott told him to play semi-pro instead. A year later, Drew got $8 million from the Cardinals.
Guess who hated that deal: Curt Schilling. He said if Drew ever made the majors, he'd need a batting helmet with extra flaps.
The Scottman calls Barry Zito "Zicasso," because he is an "artist-poet-intellectual."
Scott's offices have life-size action posters of his clients.
After Arod fired Scott in 2007 for quitting the Yankees, Scott was replaced by a former record company executive.
And the Scotter took down Arod's life-sized poster.
If Scott wasn't his agent, Andrew Brackman would not have fallen to the 30th choice in the 2006 draft and been selected by us. He has yet to pitch in a minor league game.
Thank you, Scotty!
Just incase you didnt hate him already here is a picture of him.
ReplyDeleteI guess Boras has his good points. I suppose....thanks for Brackman.
ReplyDeleteRats. I was eating breakfast when I read the words "Curt Schilling."
ReplyDeleteYou people criticizing Scott Boras don't have a single clue about him. Do you really think that all these business men who own Major League Baseball Teams are stupid men who give away money? Of course they're not! They are astute, financially wealthy men who know what they are doing, when it comes to business dealings.
ReplyDeleteScott Boras is Brilliant at what he does.
He doesn't lie, he doesn't steal, etc. He too is an astute business man, who treats his clients very, very well and (very much) looks out for his clients welfare.
To you dummies out there ..... it probably feels a lot better to you when a baseball owner STOLE a player by giving that player next to nothing, compared to the REAL value that the player should have received.
It's men like Scott Boras, who make sure that the player receives 'proper' value for what he is worth.
Baseball owners DO NOT give money away.
And so, if an owner has purchased a client of Boras, it's because that owner had thoroughly read through pertinent information on hand sufficient enough to make a determination that Scott's player was worth every penny that Scott was asking for.
Also keep in mind that players are NOT machines, and they therefore, do not always do their job with the same consistency of a machine. There are many factors as to why players who have been highly paid falter when 'trying to live up to the hype', one of those reasons is the 'Mental Aspect' of the game.
None of you lame heads would know about that because if doesn't take much of anything to just show up at your job and get paid. ...... or ....... hammer some nails in some boards and get paid for it ....... or .......... work in some office at some mundane job and get paid for it ......
If you want to REALLY be challenged in your life, go out and see if you can become a highly paid baseball player. Believe me, I doubt that there's even one you 'critiques' who can close to doing that.
Wake up people.
And whatever you in you life..., try to see if you, (the smart ass criticizer), can become as astute and as intelligent as Scott Boras.

Anonymous reminds me a lot of Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteSo, finally, we hear from Scott Boras's staff....
I WANTED to be REALLY challenged in my life, but the Level 2 Sudokus were too hard.
ReplyDeleteI like rabbits.
