Friday, June 20, 2008Ask Shyster: to boo or not to boo?I don't know if you've followed the story of Josh Hamilton and his agent (I haven't), but it's resulted in an ethical dilemma for one fan, who did the natural thing: He asked Shysterball what he should do. The "Hamilton situation" has been covered nicely by It is about the Money, Stupid. Hamilton recently fired his agent because he had a dream in which Jesus told him to. The timing is the thing: Hamilton is about to start earning some serious money. The canned agent expressed his feelings directly to IIATMS. Bottom line: he isn't happy. More fastballsThe omnipresent Eric Seideman has compiled some cool data on the outcome of fastballs at various speeds. Willie Randolph opens upWillie Randolph has penned his own article for the Daily News, covering the details of how he was fired. Here's a tip to Omar Minaya and all of you who may fire people in the future: Tell them at the beginning of the discussion. Don't draw it out. Only makes it worse. Take it from someone who's been on both ends of the conversation. Here's part of Randolph's take: And you know what's also on me?
