OT : Pedro Alvarez and How It's Hard to be a Pirates' Fan

Well, Scott Boras is at it again. Now he's trying to get Pedro's contract voided because it was signed after the midnight August 15th deadline. In essence, he's trying to shake down the Pirates for more money. In the process, he might take down another one of his clients, Eric Hosmer, who Pittsburgh believes submitted his contract after Pedro. Here's a link to the ESPN story :

I think it'd be hilarious if he took down another one of his clients with this move. I'd love to see Hosmer win a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Boras. Though this makes me wonder if Vitters really signed by midnight. I'm sure there have been other deals made after the deadline but nobody was slimy enough to agree to a contract then renege a couple of weeks later.

I just read about it yesterday on CBS Sportsline maybe someone closer to LA or Jacksonville can tell me more. I'm surprised nobody has posted anything about it yet. Looks like Clayton is going to pitch out of the bullpen for the next week or so to keep his innings down. They also want to limit his innings to just 25 per month while in the minors. So what do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea, don't care?
