$100,000 is Warren Buffet's year-round salary!

These baseball players are paid way to much these days.

I'm really glad that Pujols got some recognition for his outstanding defense. He's by far the most under-rated first baseman in the majors.

UNDER-RATED?!?!

Have you checked out his salary? Maybe then you will consider that he is paid fairly if not overpaid!

[MVB]

Ah, but his salary is for his offensive numbers- the homers, RBI, and runs scored.

And I didn't say he was under-payed, just under-rated defensively. People pay so much attention to his power numbers, they don't realize what a great fielder he is.

Now is Maddux that good (I like the guy) or is he riding on reputation at this stage of the game?...Ditto for Vizquel...
