Boras Chimes In on FBI Investigation

Uberagent Scott Boras added his two cents about the ongoing FBI investigation into MLB's signing of players from the Dominican Republic, as reported in the New York Daily News:
"The Dominican government really needs to address the protection of their youth. An easy course is contracts for these kids are prohibited until they are 18 years old. And that buscones (Spanish for "finders," or street agents) can't offer these kinds of contracts. Or that (contracts from buscones) are not enforceable if the kids sign them because you're having a minor without any benefit of representation in any form."
Boras is an authority on everything from divorce (A-Rod) to the DR, apparently. But both of these ideas are easily enforceable and more likely to be accepted by the player's union than a worldwide draft.
