Yappy Agent

Cliff Lee's agent, Darek Braunecker, says the Mariners lefty will likely test the free agent waters.
If Lee becomes a free agent, that is fine. It is his right and prerogative. What I don't like is Braunecker saying it publicly. What good does that do the Mariners? How does it help Lee?
Right now Lee's job is to help the Mariners win. Any negotiating or posturing should be done behind closed doors, not through the media. His agent should shut his face around a microphone or reporter.
By the way, Lee would look good in pinstripes.
