highest paid baseball players in 2009
Is Derek Jeter overpaid (keep in mind, I am NOT saying he is overrated)?
According to this article:
http://www.forbes.com/2009/07/10/baseball-most-overpaid-players-business-sports-overpaid.html
"Consider: The average 2009 salary for A starting shortstop in the American League is $2.7 million. The second highest paid after Jeter, Oakland's Orlando Cabrera, makes $4 million. That Jeter rakes in eight times what an average starting shortstop does, while putting up only marginally better numbers, is the biggest disparity between a player and his positional peers in major League Baseball. Intangibles like leadership qualities, a big part of Jeter's popularity, are fine, but it's tough to argue they should push a players' salary off the charts."
I tend to agree.
Not really, no. The Yankees did not have to offer such a generous salary, but did anyway.
Anyway, why does anyone more distant than Westchester County give a damn how much the Yankees spend?
