Under Paid Red Sox

ok, i know i know, it seems odd to talk about any pro athlete being under paid ... but let's just keep this in terms of the rest of the league (as opposed to the rest of society)


the way i see it, there are a few Red Sox that should get a raise due to performance this season

Beckett - $6,666,667 ..... he is in the running for the Cy Young and is currently the teams ace

Papelbon - $425,500 ..... Rivera is getting just over $10 million, so Papelbon needs a huge raise

Okijima - $1,225,000 ...... Farnsworth is getting over $5 million, no one can say Okijima isnt worth more then everyone in the Yankees pen

Pedroia - $380,000 ..... seems they could add another 0 to the end of that

Youkilis - $424,500 ..... this is very low as well, he is great in the field and at the plate ...... Konerko is getting $12 million and Youkilis is every bit as good as him

well so far this season thats my list of Red Sox that could use a raise

Re: Under Paid Red Sox

Papelbon is in just his second year of ML service I think...

He's still got some more years to go before he's ready for arbitration (and Boston then will likely reach a deal with him before hand...as the Mets did with both Jose Reyes and David Wright).

Beckett should also give money back for his performance last year. So let's call it even.

How much did Rivera make in his 1st 2 years? Much less than 425k.
