San Justo is a city and the seat of government of La Matanza Partido, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Founded on December 25th, 1858 on the lands of a landowner called Justo Villegas. The civic center was built in the Spanish form, with a park and the town hall, the church, the bank and the police station on each one of its sides.

San Justo is a prosperous city with many shops and schools, crowded during the day and a neural center for the entire county.

Pedro Bonifacio Palacios, an Argentine writer, was born in San Justo, and had one of the main streets of the city named in his honor under his nickname Almafuerte.

Social and Economic

The city has suffered for the constant changes that affected the country throughout the decades. Many factories prosperous in the 1940s and 1950's country industrialization, now lay empty. There are also shanty towns that are now permanent and show off the poverty in the country. Despite of this, is it a very populated area and there are medium-class and quiet neighbourhoods.

Education

There are many schools located in the town. The "Almafuerte" School is one of the best public schools, along with the Parroquial de San Justo.

Universidad Nacional de La Matanza is located in San Justo, and it is now a center for education, sports and cultural activities.

-==Career==
-Boras runs the Scott Boras Corporation, where he employs former major leaguers as scouts in [[Asia]] and [[Latin America]].  He has continued to negotiate deals for many of Major League Baseball's high-profile players in recent years, including [[Barry Zito]], [[Carlos Beltran]], and [[Manny Ramirez]]. <ref>[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/grant_wahl/01/17/beckham.qa/index.html SI.com - Writers - Grant Wahl: The truth about Beckham's new contract - Wednesday January 17, 2007 9:01AM<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
-Notably, Boras negotiated a seven-year, $87.5 million deal for former [[New York Yankees]] [[center fielder]] [[Bernie Williams]].
+San Justo is a prosperous city with many shops and schools, crowded during the day and a neural center for the entire county.
-Perhaps one of the most intriguing deals Boras worked out was between [[Kevin Millwood]] and Cleveland Indians general manager [[Mark Shapiro]] in 2005. This contract included performance clauses that would reduce his client's salary if he missed playing time due to arm problems. <ref>[http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2005/01/texas-rangers.html Cot's Baseball Contracts: Texas Rangers<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-Another one of Boras's clients signed a huge contract on [[December 20]], [[2005]].  [[Johnny Damon]] left the [[Boston Red Sox]] and signed with the [[New York Yankees]]. Boras negotiated a four-year, $52 million deal for Damon.
-[[Jason Varitek]], a catcher for the Boston Red Sox, received a 4-year, $40 million contract courtesy of Boras's negotiations in December 2004. Boras delivered another high-priced free agent to Boston in November 2006 when [[J.D. Drew]] signed a $70 million contract with Boston, a deal which was finalized on [[January 25]], [[2007]].<ref>{{cite web

-On [[December 28]], [[2006]] it was announced that Boras client [[Barry Zito]] had signed a 7 year, $126 million deal with the [[San Francisco Giants]].  At the time, this was the largest deal for a pitcher.  Johan Santana's $137.5 million contract with the Mets in 2008 eclipsed Zito's mark. <ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2710389 ESPN - Zito's Giants deal worth about $18M per year - MLB<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

-Boras is sometimes credited with changing the dynamics of the amateur draft<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.boston.com/news/globe/magazine/articles/2007/04/01/why_scott_boras_is_the_best_and_worst_thing_to_happen_to_baseball?mode=PF Why Scott Boras is the best (and worst) thing to happen to baseball - The Boston Globe<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.  He has been known to advise his clients to turn down a deal (and continue with either college-ball or semi-pro ball) if the signing bonus was below an amount acceptable to them<ref name=autogenerated1 />.  Some teams have avoided drafting Boras's clients in baseball's amateur draft for this reason, most notably the Chicago White Sox<ref>http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/cs-070625soxitem,1,2031925.story?coll=cs-whitesox-headlines</ref> <ref>[http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jon_heyman/06/25/scoop.monday/1.html SI.com - Writers - Down for the count (cont.) - Monday June 25, 2007 4:28PM<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>, whose owner, [[Jerry Reinsdorf]], has a feud with Boras<ref>[http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/baseball/jay06.shtml View From Chicago: A-Rod in Chicago?

+==Education==
-During Game 4 of the [[2007 World Series]], Boras announced that [[Alex Rodriguez]] had opted out of his contract with the New York Yankees. Boras was criticized harshly by [[Major League Baseball]] officials for upstaging the World Series with the timing of this announcement. <ref>http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/2008/09/06/2008-09-06_a_year_after_alex_rodriguez_debacle_scot.html A year after Alex Rodriguez debacle, Scott Boras still rules the game - New York Daily News</ref>

-==Scott Boras clients==
-Because of his reputation as a tough negotiator, Boras's name is not attached to his clients' marketing. He set up a separate company, Impact Marketing, to handle all of their endorsements, appearances and autograph signings. His client list is estimated to be about 65.
-Although Alex Rodriguez did not formally sever ties with Boras, Rodriguez later negotiated a new contract with the New York Yankees-- doing so without Boras-- after originally opting out of the final three years of a 10-year, $252 million contract.  Some news sources say Boras gave Rodriguez "bad advice" in encouraging him to opt out and that Boras had demanded a $350 million offer from the Yankees "just to talk" about Rodriguez staying with the team. Rodriguez instead chose to employ a managing director of Goldman Sachs to negotiate a deal with the Yankees. The Yankees had refused to speak with Rodriguez had Boras been involved.
-On [[December 17]], [[2007]], Variety reported that Alex Rodriguez fired Scott Boras, and hired former record company executive [[Guy Oseary]] as his agent.<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117977876.html?categoryid=18&cs=1 A-Rod bats for Oseary's team - Entertainment News, Business News, Media - Variety<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
-Left-handed [[Detroit Tigers]] pitcher [[Kenny Rogers (baseball player)|Kenny Rogers]] announced on [[November 16]], [[2007]] that he had fired Boras as his agent and would deal directly with teams when negotiating his contract for the 2008 season.
-On [[December 5, 2007]], Boras client [[Andruw Jones]] agreed to a two-year deal with the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]], worth $36.2 million. He continued to struggle, hitting below .200 for most of the season. Additionally, he had only 10 hits in 116 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Due to his lack of production, Jones was dropped to eighth in the Dodger line-up. This was the first time since 1998 that Jones had hit eighth in any line-up. On [[September 13, 2008]], Jones was put on the 60-day disabled list for the second time, effectively ending his disappointing season.
