Fotop Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Albert Pujols $11,000,000 Mike Sweeney $11,000,000 Having those two names right next to each other reminded me even more how much the Cardinals have Pujols for a friggin' amazing rate. $11million for arguably the best hitter in baseball and a servicable 1st baseman? That's unbelieveable. I mean you could say you could have 2 Pujols's and 3mil to spare for one Arod...but that's stretching it since Arod is such an outlier contract. Either way, Pujols at 11million? Sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick. I agree, except to say that I think Pujols is already better than servicable. I'd say he's good and going to get better. Maybe not Gold Glove, but he'll be close. But he could be less than servicable defensively and still be worth the money ( if anyone truly can be worth that money to play a game, but that's another conversation... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Mussina is getting payed way too much money. $19 mil and he isn't even good anymore. I guess he's still way behind Park for being overpayed though, damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Don't take me to the bank on this, but I believe the Yankees are only picking up another $2 mill of Contreras's contract, which comes this year...so that would lead me to believe that he is being paid $6.5 mill by the Sox, which is outlandish for a good #5 starter.
