I dont even think it is even close over 20 million a year for a guy who cant hit 40 homeruns if you added his last 5 seasons together and batting average going down Joe Mauer is incredibly over paid.
But his last 5 years he is average at best with no power and we are paying him like a 40 homer a year player.
Nick Swisher. $14 million to bat .200 with little pop, a bum knee and can't play the field Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
He went from batting 300's to mid 200's since he stopped juicing that's just an average major league player in my book
Albert Belle. I think the O's are still paying him in some sort of fashion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There's a ton recent players that could be thrown out. Josh Hamilton comes to mind. He's a good baseball player but can't stay healthy and the possibility of relapse is always there.
Ryan Howard, Melvin Upton come to mind first. Mauer is overpaid, but at least he's sort of worth something. Texeira is another one, although he is having a decent year
He gets paid so well the umpires would let him walk around the bases. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Kevin Brown and his $100 million contract for the Yankees. Biggest joke of an trade I can remember. I hope they at least made him clean the bathrooms or mop the hallways of the stadium.
