Something I Found Interesting

[love_that_reefer]

Here is a list of the players with the top salaries in each league for 2007:

NL Salary
Helton-COL $16,600,000
Schmidt-LAD $15,703,946
Bonds-SFG $15,533,970
Berkman-HOU $14,500,000
Delgado-NYM $14,500,000
Hampton-ATL $14,500,000


AL Salary
Giambi-NYY $23,428,571
Rodriguez-NYY $22,708,525
Jeter-NYY $21,600,000
Ramirez-BOS $17,016,381
Colon-LAA $16,000,000
Pettitte-NYY $16,000,000

All the NL guys had disappointing seasons except Helton but clearly wasn't worth the top contract in the league. Schmidt and Hampton combined for 25 IP. The AL guys contained of four Yankees that combined for a little over $83 mil. I just found this interesting. Maybe GMs should start front loading some of thee contracts.
