I used to hate him before I read a book called "A license to deal" about Dtrain and his agent. That book not only talks about dontrelle but many chapters on boras and former agent jeff morad are mentioned. Boras is helping the player get more money but it is the teams that decide to overpay, not boras.

No, he just wants to get what's best for his clients. He has a LOT of them, but it seems like we only hear of him being a jerk and hard to work with. He is actually a pretty good guy, I saw an interview with him, and he is very intelligent, and easy going. He has dozens of clients, but each year he has one or two negotiations get out of hand and he gets bad P.R. Everyone thinks he lost, but he actually did very well for a guy who had not pitched in the majors. What hurt him was that he had no leverage, Matsuzaka did not want to go to back to Japan, and his team did not want him back. He did the best he could.
I think a lot of people now think of Boras as Drew Rosenhaus, and he's not. If I were a player, I'd want him as my agent.

No, but he is easily the greatest sports agent of all-time.
I plan on having a child in the next six years and when I do, I'm going to hire Boras to represent him. I figure the kid will be receiving nine-figure contract offers by grade-school and in Yankee pinstripes by Jr. High and with any luck.
Me, Boras and my unborn child will all be sipping maragaritas on a beach in Hawaii by the time he graduates high school.
Thank You Scott Boras!

I wouldnt go that far. He is just trying to make a lot of money from his job. By representing big name clients and then asking for lots of money is gonna give him money. Most agents get paid approximately 10% of what the player the represent make a year. So simple math would prove that the more his player make, the more he will make.

He is greedy and hated, yes. He has prize game chips at his control to exchange for people's souls (a.k.a. money), and was once an 'angel'. (a baseball player) Basically, he is some greedy guy that nobody really likes, but he's good at squeezing money out of a team's pockets and finding every escape clause and loophole known to man.

Of course he is. He is a greedy man for a lot of money. A player's agent makes 10% of the player's salary, and since he is the agent of so many players, he's making so much money right now. He is so selfish for money. He is a money devil.

Check the bible which says that Satan was punished to crawl on his stomach and eat earth. That was because he tempted the first parents to eat the forbidden fruit. He moves slowly like worm now. Remember Satan is the leader who rebelled against God. His followers are doing all the evil works to lead people to hell since their mobility is not restricted. However, Satan though moves slowly, yet whoever he reaches, that person becomes a ravage. We have Hitler, Amin, Pol Pot and many more. These were the people influenced by that worm. He would gather momentum until the world gets to the end times as predicted in the book of Revelation. Satan would become one person other than the Antichrist and the false profit to wreck the world, to get everyone to wear his mark '666'. Then he would cause the Antichrist to plunge a war with the one sitting on the white horse. They would all be defeated by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the One on the white horse. Satan would then be chained in the deepest abyss. One thousand years later he would be set free to cause a final trouble with God. He is able to do that since the world over are descendants of '666'. He amasses a great army to fight with God in the last battle. God does not waste more time. He just sends down fire from heaven and devours all his army and Satan is then thrown into hell to be with the Antichrist and the false profit. To suffer fire and brimstone in hell forever.

No but he obviously learned the Jedi Mind Trick on some of the GMs to get them to bid against themselves.

He really annoys me sometimes! He is doing such a good job average players get millions more than their worth and teams are at his beck and call.

Teams and fans have to think so. The players he represents view him as an angel. Lucifer perhaps, but an angel.
