  <body>&lt;p&gt;Longtime Angels outfielder &lt;strong&gt;Garret Anderson&lt;/strong&gt; recently hired agent &lt;strong&gt;Scott Boras&lt;/strong&gt;, according to league sources. The Angels declined Anderson's $14 million option for 2009 and bought out his contract for $3 million. Anderson had been one of only a few players without an agent (&lt;strong&gt;Curt Schilling&lt;/strong&gt; is another).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anderson, who has played his entire 15-year career in Anaheim, is testing the market for the first time. The Angels haven't ruled out a return for G.A., who hit .293 with 15 home runs and 84 RBIs last season and has hit between .280 and .321 in every season with the Angels -- he's a career .296 hitter --&amp;nbsp;but they're currently focused on free-agent slugger&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Mark Teixeira&lt;/strong&gt;, another Boras client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for Boras, he could be the&amp;nbsp;busiest agent this offseason. Besides Anderson and Teixeira, his other clients who are free agents include &lt;strong&gt;Willie Bloomquist&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Alex Cora&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Joe Crede&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Felipe Lopez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Derek Lowe&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Greg Maddux &lt;/strong&gt;(who is likely to retire), &lt;strong&gt;Corey Patterson&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Oliver Perez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Manny Ramirez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Ivan Rodriguez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Julian Tavarez&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt; Jason Varitek&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Ron Villone &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Brad Wilkerson&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
