Amount of money desired
150% (Scott $$$ [Assured money], Allen Littleton [Aggressive Agent])
140%
130% (Ben Moon [Assured money], Troy Steinburg [No-Trade Clause, Incentive]
120% (Drew Rosenfeld [Incentive])
110% (Jeff "Classical" Customary [Old-fashioned])
100% (Norman Normal [Regular Agent])
90% (Surem Lollar [assured money]
80% (Ron Fairton [variable hometown specialist])
$cott $$$
- Clients to only those with an overall or peak over 90. Most of the times he is their agent for life. Assured money is his game. Generally doesn't accept less than 150% of the asking price.
Ben Moon
- This guy's clients come generally from the 85-90+ range. In the case that he has a Mark Prior-like player he will accept incentive based deals but he frowns upon it. Generally speaking, he won't accept something less than 130-140% of the asking price.
Drew Rosenfeld
- Very keen on incentive based deals, but loves assured money as much as the next guy. If he can get more than the assured amount of money for his player through incentives he will.
Troy Steinburg
- Assured money and a no trade clause is what he is about. Steinburg generally deals with aging veterans or stars nearing the end of their prime. If your hometown veteran is nearing the end of his career and gets Troy as his agent you'll need to expect several years and a no trade clause.
Allen Littleton
- Littleton represents the smaller guy. The third starter. The 6th hitter. The not-quite gold glove winner. Despite this, he is an aggressive agent that often gets lucrative contracts for players that don't deserve it.
Norman Normal
- Norm asks for what the player deserves. He leans toward assured money but doesn't mind incentive based deals or player options.
Jeff "Classical" Customary
- A guy who's focused mostly on traditional stats. If you have a player who hits .300 but gets on base at a .320 clip, expect to have to pay through the nose. Juan Uribe, I'm looking at you.
Surem (pronounced like Sherm) Lollar
- An agent willing to cut a deal for slightly below market value so long as it's all guaranteed money with incentives going at least to market value.
Ron Fairton
- A hometown specialist. A guy who throughout a player's career will try and fit the player's contract to that of a hometown team. Perhaps he'll go as low as 80% if it's a small-market team, but he'll also fight for over market value if it's a big-market team. Basically, he tries to balance his player's value with the team's capabilities. Also, as the player ages, this agent would be more willing to work to keep the player in town, even if it means 1-year deals or lesser money.
Please post some suggestions for other agents
