Boras isnt afraid to send a guy to Indy ball. Aaron Crow and Luke Hochevar increased their draft status by doing that.

I thought that Aaron Crow was picked later in the following draft. He was selected 9th overall by the Nationals in 2008, didn't sign, played with the Fort Worth Cats, and was selected 12th overall in 2009 by the Royals.

He got a pretty nice bonus out of it though. That is what I meant. He got 3 mil.

it's unlikely that ranaudo goes back to lsu or to indy ball. those may be the desperate negotiation tactics that boras tries to use, but this is probably the highest his stock will get. and boras hasn't exactly been the best agent lately, i think he's starting to lose some of his credability

jacksonianmarch · 07-20-2010, 10:58 PM

How? He continues to get top dollar for his players

Keeper · 08-06-2010, 12:44 AM

So, what's the latest? Is Ranaudo going to sign?

jacksonianmarch · 08-06-2010, 01:20 AM

Its gonna be down to the wire, but right now the rumor is no

**msubulldogs21** · 08-06-2010, 01:57 AM

I'm curious how much Boras is asking for him.

August 4th.

Best I could find.

Don't have a link for you yet. But it isn't uncommon for Boras clients to make it known that they are leaning toward heading back to school. Most boras clients sign on deadline day. Also, read the same article as described above

so in other words, it's simply speculation on your part that he won't sign. the article above says that the rumor is that he will most likely sign

jacksonianmarch · 08-06-2010, 01:19 PM

Wrong again. Seriously, dude, you get more ornery as more sox players drop like flies. Put it this way, the sox know what it is going to take to sign him. Boras is the agent. Right now, they arent close.

you said the rumor is that ranaudo won't sign so i asked you for a source like any normal person would do. the only source you've pointed to says that he most likely will sign

seems pretty logical to conclude that the "rumor" about him not signing is speculation on your part

Sorry dude, but I have to defend Jacko on this one. Jacko did not say that the rumor was that he wasn't going to sign. He said that the rumor was that Ranaudo was floating with the idea of going back to school (ie getting his class schedule) and Jacko said that Boras does this ALL THE TIME, in order to get negotiating leverage.

If anything, it looks like Jacko was implying that he will sign, just that Boras was doing whatever he can to take the process to the final day in order to get more money.
