The inspiration of Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Michael Weiner is felt by anyone who works in his office. It is certainly not lost on David Prouty, who will assume part of Weiner’s duties for one of the most powerful unions in the country.
Weiner, who is living with an inoperable brain tumor, has handed his role of general counsel to Prouty, who has served as chief labor counsel on Weiner’s staff since 2008. Prouty, 54, a graduate of Bowdoin College and Harvard Law School, becomes just the fourth general counsel, after Marvin Miller, Donald Fehr, and Weiner.

Scott Boras is Derek Lowe's agent. Last year, he talked the Yankees into hiring Lowe for 2 months because he was able to show the Yankees that, while Lowe didn't have the stamina anymore to go 7 innings, his early innings of his starts were up to his ordinary standard, and if the Yankees were careful and didn't let him go too long in a game, he'd do just fine, and that happened.
