South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) If that actually happened...I believe it's technically against the union rules. I think it's against the rules for an organization to bypass a player's agent and approach the player directly. However, I believe a player can bypass his own agent and contact a team directly if he wishes.

iamshack Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah, I didn't get to watch the game as I was stuck with the stupid Angels/Yankees game on Fox and it was therefore not on my Extra Innings package. I see now it was mentioned in the game thread. Sorry for the redundancy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Wow, Jeremy...I don't know if you finished reading that article you posted, but at the very bottom it said Andruw Jones has already negotiated a deal without Boras - the one he negotiated with the Braves in 2002...

That doesnt make any sense, a player can do whatever he wants... doesnt even need to have an agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is Jones' bandaid a nicotine patch or did he hurt himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 People don't usually put nicotine patches on their necks...and I don't think there would be other players wearing them for fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 24, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) looks like a nicotine patch or something My first thought was that it was a motion sickness patch. Of course, why would he wear one while walking around? Maybe he knew he'd be making many rounds of the base pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon, it'll be fun!" : I'm thinking of going to Walgreen's for some small round bandaids to put on my neck for the next couple White Sox games this week.
