Do you really need an innings limit after getting 18 months to recover?

Though I understand players wanting to be cautious after returning from a serious injury I think this might be getting out of hand.. The teams are the ones signing the paychecks and are the ones being handicapped with the innings limits.. Agents need to stop acting like they care about anything more than their future commissions.. Maybe they can address this in the next CBA and perhaps something like a panel of top doctors can set the return path on future players returning from injuries.. Take control away from teams and agents and put it exactly where it should be, with the doctors.. Teams pay vast amounts of money for the best doctors and rehab therapists and I doubt after investing millions in the players that they would add any unnecessary risk.. Agents need to shut up and leave it to the professionals.. They are nothing more than sleazy used car salesman who could care less about the players team, teammates, or fans.. I am sure if it was up to Boras he would have his players sign their contracts and then ride the bench until their next contract year.. Its too bad that all agents can’t be like Casey Close.. He seems to actually care about his players.. Sooner or later teams are going to get fed up with Boras and its the players that are going to suffer.. Not the superstar players that all teams want/need but the 2nd/3rd tier guys.. Teams are going to pass over players strictly because of who the agent is that they will be dealing with..

Leave it to the doctors sounds nice.
Have you ever seen a doctor about a major physical issue? The old line applies…
“I saw 4 different doctors”.
“So what did they tell you?”
“About 10 different things”.
Out of place Met fan
Teams may tire of Boras, but there is no doubting he is one of the best at what he does. As long as that continues there is no way players migrate away from his representation. A Boras free team and organization may sound great to a fan, but it is not very realistic nor would there be much talent

Blue Jays — zero Boras clients
Tigers — one Boras client — Iglesias
Cardinals — two Boras clients — Holliday, Rosenthal
Angels — two Boras clients — Weaver, Green
It is not hard to deal with Scott Boras when you limit the number of his clients.
