[awefullspellare]

DAMN! 100 guys making 7.25+ :O.

Who do you all think are the top 5 most overpaid and top 5 underpaid from the list?

For me, overpaid is (in no order)
1.Mussina
2.Bagwell
3.Piazza
4.Chan Ho Park
5.Mike Hampton

Underpaid is (again no order)
1.Soriano
2.Derek Lee
3.Jason Schmidt
4.Aramis Ramirez
5.Scott Rolen

Harder to do underpaid because I don't think they need any more money lol.

[777rak]

man A-Rod is rich!!!

[Porter]

11. Kevin Brown Yankees $15,714,286

HOW DO YOU LEAVE HIM OFF THE LIST?

[General]

Brown is THE most overpaid player in the bigs, followed by Giambi.

Notice how 3 of the top 5 play for the Yanks?

[DirtyKash]

On this list the most overpaid are Darren Dreifort and Bobby Higginson. I bet those two are sitting at home posting on message boards just like the rest of us. The difference is that they're making seven- and eight-figure salaries.

[PacMan]

Darren Dreifort

Who the hell is that?

[griffeyfan3]

you dont know who darren dreifort is? lol....

[General]

Ah...Darren ****ing Dreifort...


Does DePodesta wanna sell the farm for him again? I'd say no...

11. Kevin Brown Yankees $15,714,286

HOW DO YOU LEAVE HIM OFF THE LIST?

Not sure, can't remeber my reasoning for this.

[realmofotalk]

Unless, you're a Dodger fan, you don't the right to say Darren ****ing Dreifort :p
And DePodesta had nothing to do with the Dreifort signing. He traded Mota to try to make some use of Kevin Malone's boy.

[realmofotalk]

Overpaid, in no order
1. Chan Ho Park
2. Kevin Brown
3. Darren Dreifort
4. Jason Giambi
5. Jason Kendall

Underpaid
1. Soriano
2. Halladay
3. Schmidt
4. Ichiro
5. Pujols

If Pujols' contract is backloaded, he's off the underpaid list.
