My Favorite Part Of Any Article

The agent.

On Gary Matthews Jr.:

"They know where we stand," Matthews' agent, Scott Leventhal, told FOXSports.com. "Gary wants to play every day, and he wants to play center field."

"He's still got an amazing amount of talent," Leventhal said.

On Jacque Jones:

"I think any team will be impressed to sit across from Jacque Jones and reach out and shake his hand," Lapa said. "He looks as if he took his uniform off two weeks ago -- probably the best that I've seen him look. He has a lot of baseball left in his body, and he's looking for a team, hoping to make them look like geniuses."

On Rich Harden:

Tellem added that Harden, who has a history of shoulder problems, is healthy. "He’s fine," the agent said. "If the team had been in the race, he would have been pitching (at the end of the season). No health issues at all."

If a sportswriter is going to quote a player's agent in a story, then in the interest of being fair, he should also have to quote a guy whose wife the player hit on.

""He's still got an amazing amount of talent," Leventhal said."

“you ought to see him juggle the two chainsaws and the bowling ball”

I respectfully disagree.

I think this gem was the best part of that article:

Mike Cameron looms as a secondary option for the Angels. He has said he would move from center field to left for the right club, and the Angels would qualify — he is good friends with their center fielder, Torii Hunter.

“He fits,” a rival executive said of Cameron.

Someone involved in the synthesis of that idea is stupid, or Torii Hunter, possibly both.

Speaking of smelly people

Jacque Jones hasn’t played since 2008 and he looks like he just took his uniform off 2 weeks ago. Gross.

From FOX rumor mill:

DeRosa, who turns 35 on Feb. 26, is seeking a three-year contract for between $21 million and $24 million, one source says. His agents’ response to those who question awarding such a deal to a player his age is that DeRosa has been lightly used for most of his career. Thus, from a baseball perspective, he is effectively younger.

No, Fucking. Way...

That might be the worst I’ve ever heard. That’s like saying Griffey is still in peak physical shape since he’s been injured since he was 31. Or that it is safe to Jaime Burke to a 10 year deal since he has spent most of his career on the bench.

...and now I'm here

Agents are like lawyers...

They have to get creative to “win”.
