既然最近開始傳出Perez to Yankees的謠言讓我分享一下紐時記者 Schmidt 11月一篇有關Boras幫Perez寫的binder的blog 他描述了binder裡面大概的內容 (注: Boras會幫他旗下的進入自由市場的球員整理一本資料夾用來說服GM為什麼他的顧客值得球隊花大把的銀子非常出名的是他幫Zito準備的藍底銀字厚得像書一樣內容有Zito比Lefty Grove投更多局數比Warren Spahn有更多三振...and so on ) The Book on Oliver Perez, by Scott Boras http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/05/the-book-on-borass-clients/ The agent Scott Boras is famous for the binders that he prepares on each of his clients as he tries to persuade various general managers to sign off on lavish free-agent contracts. The binder for the free agent Oliver Perez illustrates how this very formidable agent tries to make his players sound formidable, too, even when they’re not exactly superstars. The Perez book is divided into eight chapters that include such headings as: “Perez Turns Corner in 2006,” “Perez Is One of Baseball’s Top 5 Left-Handed Starting Pitchers,” “A Rare Young Left-Handed Starting Pitcher Available on the Free-Agent Market,” “Big-Game Ollie,” and “Durable Ollie. ” In the chapter “Perez Turns Corner in 2006,” charts are used to argue that the pitching statistics for Perez, who is now 27, are similar to those of Randy Johnson and the Hall-of-Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax at the same age. What ’s more, the charts argue that Perez’s control problems will improve, just like they did for Koufax and Johnson as they got older. Chapter Three is titled: “Perez Is One of Baseball’s Top 5 Left-Handed Starting Pitchers.” It puts Perez in a grouping with C.C. Sabathia, Cole Hamels, Ted Lilly and Johan Santana, who was Perez’s teammate on the Mets in 2007. Two charts are included to show that in each of the past two seasons on the Mets, Perez was the youngest left-handed pitcher in the majors to have an earned run average of less than 4.25 while accumulating at least 170 strikeouts and 10 victories. There’s more, too: “Perez Eats Innings,” “Dominates on the Biggest Stage, ” and “Perez Beats Up on Mets’ Rivals in 2007-2008.” Complimentary quotes from players and managers about Perez are sprinkled throughout. There’s even a quote from Mets General Manager Omar Minaya, the man who would have to give Perez the hefty contract Boras is looking for if Perez re-signs with the Mets. ---- Pettitte願意只拿一年約 Boras 會讓"五大左投之一"的Perez拿個便宜短約就算了嗎? rotoworld的謠言說Boras開價5年 14MM/yr XDDDD 當然他不太可能真的拿到這個價但是長約應該是跑不掉 -- Relax, all right?
