November 10, 200421 yr I read this gem on the Trib Website: But not one team actually has inspected Ordonez's knee and maybe none will be allowed. "If they want to watch him go through his drills and conditioning steps, they're welcome to do that," Boras said. --My comment: If any baseball team signs Maggs without being allowed to check out Maggs, then baseball is truly a joke. Give me a break. That would be like buying an 8 year old car without inspecting it at all. I love Maggs but this Boras guy is too much. No team should sign Maggs under these conditions. I wonder which team will. You think an NFL team any team would sign a guy under these conditions? No frickin way. Owners have to make a stand somewhere against these dumbs*** agents.
November 10, 200421 yr I thought it was pretty much a given that before any player signs a contract that they undergo a physical and that stuff. Teams may negotiate before checking out his knee, but I don't think they will dot the i's and cross the t's on the contract until he passes the physical.
November 10, 200421 yr Haha, it's Boras though. Team will check him out for sure. He'd have to pass a physical anyways.
November 10, 200421 yr Author Makes sense chisoxfan. But the Trib sort of implied no checking of the knee, just watching him work out. I hope nobody buckles under those conditions.

November 10, 200421 yr You can bet your ass that any Magglio signing will be contingent on him passing a physical. Though the way Boras is handling this, it's like he certainly has something to hide. I cannot see how Boras's actions are in Magglio's best interest.
