| He is just masterful at what he does. Has not heart, soul, or love for the game. He is good at what he does, just ruthless. As long as the Steinbrenners are in charge at NY, he wont be hurting anytime soon.

Boras is just doing his job. It isn't his fault the Yankees continue to increase their payroll despite having nothing to show for it. How many offseasons do we have to put up with people telling us the Yankees will be unbeatable? Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Sure they were as all teams do, but do you really think they're as ridiculous as the Yankees in the obscene salaries and conditions? | |

They are just taking their profits and reinvesting it into their company. Everyone acting like it is the worst thing in the world should love the fact that their plan continues to backfire.

| Biggest problem I have with the Yanks is how they can spend 450 million on 3 players, when just 3 weeks ago they asked for 450 million in public bonds to help finish off their stadium. Mets, Yankees ask NYC for more stadium money : Sports : WSTM NBC3
