DUFFY SIGNS WITH SCOTT BORAS

As tough as DANNY DUFFY has been this season (8-4, 2.20 and a five-inning no-hitter pictured here) Scott Boras is just as tough at the negotiating table.

Boras is widely considered among the most hard-nosed of the sports agents and represents such big names as Barry Zito, Carlos Beltran and Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, Johnny Damon and J.D. Drew.

Now Danny's mom alerts us that Duffy and Boras have teamed up--

"Just an FYI on Danny. He is scheduled to start this Friday at Beloit. The Bees clinched a playoff spot so life is good. I got these pix from a fan that was at the Peoria no-hitter game (Aug. 7). Left to Right is Ryan Eigsti (catcher), Danny, and Juan Abreu, the relief pitcher that follows Danny. Cool huh?

"Also, Danny was approached about a month ago by the Scott Boras Corp. After talking with them, and Dan & I meeting with them, Danny decided to have them represent him in his career. Exciting stuff for him. They are great at what they do & they have a top of the line facility in Southern California that they use for their athletes to work out in in the off season.. So, the Boras Corp has their first Cabrillo Alumni client. :) Deanna Duffy"

Here's the photo of Eigsti, Duffy and Abreu.

Church Stays Hot

In case anyone thought RYAN CHURCH's extended stay on the DL hurt his eye or his stroke, just check this out. In the three games he has started since his return he is 5-for-11 or .454.

This after going 2-for-4 Monday night against Houston. For the season he's at .313.
