Greedy guy just wants to use the stat so he can make more money.

Why not just call the stat the $.

Boras is a CANCER to all professional sports.

Ohh how about EP for Boras as "Expletive" Prick!

Are you kidding me. I guess he is running out of negotiating tactics.

Scott Boras is to baseball as Drew Rosenhaus is to the NFL.

Scott should just keep "twittiling his thumbs until the end of the yr & then he will go & get A-Rod his next deal for 8yrs 240 mil." In the deal the team that signs ARod should also get a lifetime supply Vicodine, Oxycontin, & Arsenic b/c the team & the owner's life will be going do hill quickly.

DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE WHAT THIS IDIOT THINKS?!?!?!?!?!

His mother cares, diesel, and so does mine.

just so he can make more money. Scott you have enough, pull your pants up, and wash off

Actually, if any one else had made this suggestion it might have merit. I can't stand the guy, but it is interesting. It could actually help lower some salaries for some guys because they would not have the defensive ratings of some other player.

So using Boras's thinking, if they don't have the high defensive level, they shouldn't get the salary. Besides, there really is no definitive way to quantify that a player is a good defensive player, other than not making errors. Before you light me up, I did mention I can't stand the guy, right?

who does this a hole think he is???? what is he the commish all the sudden! I got a new stat, how about "PA" prick agents that screw teams over...

Welcome to Lake Borasville, where all the athletes are above average, and all their plays are exceptional.

"Exceptional Play" sounds as subjective as "error." I imagine an army of jizz moppers are already needed to clean up the floor of the Yankee press box everytime Jeter does anything mildly heroic. Can you imagine the home town scorer going crazy with those "Exceptional Play" awards?

I can only hope that Selig and his minions just roll their eyes and ignore the crap spewing from Boras' mouth. What a dingus.

What are u guys communists? I don't get it? This is pretty good idea, and this is also America where the beauty of a free market economy enables all of us to maximize our dollar values. Even if you already think ballplayers are overpaid they should still have every right to seek way to increase their incomes, and if this statistic is used it seems like fairly legitimate measure of one's worth....

Why not keep stats on how many batted balls a fielder gets to and turns into outs to determine how good he is? We could call these stats assist and put-outs. Oh, they already do keep these stats? My bad.

Good point.
In America we don't let the inmates run the asylum. Management has an advaserial role compared to employees and Scott Boras is a parasite. Yeah i can see how it would be to the advantage of MLB owners to start scoring a completely subjective stat like Exceptional Plays. why not also include a likability rating or a marketability rating.

what an****

Scott Boras.

He is not even a man anymore.

It's become a scourge.

If you put a company of apes on a garbage barge, how long will it take before the alpha male eats the first-born?

Scotty knows.

sheesh - I though b*nds, $teinbrenner and fehr were the biggest jerks in ba$eball.....bora$$ even surpasses them all....
