Take this with a huge FWIW, but found it interesting. Apparently/allegedly comments from Peter Gammons on Boras having clients work with his own staff coaches instead of doing what the team wants, at times to their detriment. Most of it is about Craig Hansen and Dice-K, but Tex is also mentioned...
I talked with Texas people about Mark Teixeira who has moved away from [Texas hitting coach] Rudy Jaramillo, who is acknowledged as a great hitting coach, and is instead working with Scott’s people. The people in the Texas organization are just exhausted from it.
I mean Scott has his heart in the right place with this but you’ve got to start wondering about this. Some people do know more about the mechanics of baseball than Scott Boras does, and that’s the coaches.
