Carlos Lee Hires, then Fires, Scott Boras

After hiring the controversial well-known agent Scott Boras earlier this week, Carlos Lee has reniged on the deal, choosing to stick with his original agents.  Much speculation has come out over why Lee switched back, but neither Lee not Boras has spoken publicly.  If Lee has any intention of recieving an offer from the offense-needy Astros, this was a good move.  Since Boras burned the Astros with the whole Carlos Beltran deal, it’s unlikely that the Houston front office will ever negotiate with him again.  Lee is apparently on the top of the list for Houston’s off-season targets.
