My client is the best there ever was.....


....until my next client comes up for free agency.

Per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, agent, Scott Boras has thrown out the ceremonial first pitch in announcing the greatness of his free agent client, Matt Holliday.

"These guys are blue-collar superstars," Boras said. "They don't hit 50 home runs, but they're complete players. They can give you something without swinging the bat."

"There are differences between hitters and complete players," Boras said. "Matt Holliday is a complete player."*

"There is, frankly, no one like him in the market."

I think free agent, Jason Bay is better but Boras does not represent him so he does not count.

Funny how that works.

*Gold gloves - none. Critical defensive errors in post-season - one.

P.S. - 7 year old Skate Kid's team plays on a nicer field than that.

Scott Boras's schtick never gets old, does it? I have to think that he's bad for baseball.
