Scott Boras says Harvey's innings limit was misunderstanding


Boras backed off of his September pronouncements that the Mets were the anti-christ and that his client, Mets ace pitcher Matt Harvey, was being mis-managed after coming back from Tommy John surgery.

Boras, attending yesterday's General Manager meetings in Boca Raton, Florida, said that the team actually handled his client appropriately with his innings pitched during the late season and into the playoffs, despite suggesting that they give him the Stephen Strasburg shut-down treatment that worked so beautifully for the Washington Nationals back in 2012.

In September, Boras asserted -- quite definitively -- that renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews had mandated a hard innings limit of 180 for Harvey, who was pitching his first full season after rehabbing his restructured elbow. Dr. Andrews - who performed Harvey's surgery - has never actually issued any such pronouncement.

At yesterday's GM meetings, Boras stated, again, quite definitively, that there is no such thing as a hard innings limit after Tommy John surgery:

“If you are asking whether a guy ... goes from 0 to 200 in a season, if there is more risk, the doctors will tell you ‘we don’t know.’ ”

If any reporters guffawed, clicked their teeth, or attempted to smack Boras, it has not been reported.

Bore-ass. Can't he retire by now? We need to deal with him with Arrieta and Bryant.

Anyway, I am sure his story would have changed along the way. But now he has a reason for his client to have "tired" in the WS

This guy is a master at his craft. Not sure why people complain about him.

Did you buy a ticket to a game? Then you're apart of the problem.

Nah, I listen to games for free on the radio.

Is this the only profession where you make more money by totally making shit up when it suits you? I guess improv comedian is the only other one I can think of.

He's certainly apolarizing figure. Perhaps the most influential sports agent there is.

He's the best.

The fact that he's not a good person makes him so good.

google the stuff about him having guys stalk minor league players.

He's able to buy minor leaguers who were with other agents when drafted.


And he can pull this outlandish stuff or things like saying Davis is a FT OF. Because he can.

His binders are the stuff of legend.
