Scott Boras Team Quotations

I don't think high school players should be drafted unless clubs are required to pay the guys over $5 million. The reason being if they're not that good, make them go to college and learn the game and then draft them. But if you draft a high school player you have to guarantee his future. And if the player is not that good the team won't take the risk. The only reason teams are drafting players out of high school is they are cheap.

They were doing this for market purposes, not to help the team individually. It's never in best interest of an individual club to disclose which player they're going to tender or not tender. The free agent market has been artificially manipulated by owner conduct.

I'm biased, but I think Johnny was tremendously valuable to the Red Sox, from a couple of standpoints. The first one being what he did for their team and the second one being what he could do to their team if he played for somebody else -- particularly the Yankees.

The World Series is something that rarely gets to a number of venues in professional baseball. And that's one problem because we want the fan base of particular cities to participate in the World Series, even though there may be a lull in the particular performance of the regional team.

People say what we're doing is holding out when in reality the teams are trying to crush the draft market because they don't want to pay fair market value.
