Anyone watch the playoffs this year? Schilling was 3-0 with a microscopic ERA...

If you pay A-rod $30+/yr, then he actually contributes to LOSING all 162 games since you can't afford to pay any other players...

No Boras isn't on drugs, the team that pays that is on drugs.

was this a reference to curt schilling, if so how much would you pay for randy johnson, he's one of the greatest lefties of all-time, schilling is old and not the same guy he was, it's not what you have done in the past but what can you do now. A-rod is quite possibly one of the best players ever and he's at the top of his game, obviously he is worth more than a washed up old pitcher

Consider that he only won 9 games for Boston in the regular season, and $8 million suddenly seems like a lot of money. Also consider that at his best, he contributes to less than 30 wins, while an everyday player with stats like A-Rod can help win 90+ games, and you see why there's a difference in salary.

Uhh.
A-Rod=30
Schilling=41
That might have something to do with it.
Plus, Schilling has a bunch of incentives that can raise that by about $5 million.

Curt Schilling is 40 years old, and has missed large chunks of time in 3 of the past 5 seasons.
Alex Rodriguez is the best player in baseball, and is in his prime. He's hugely marketable, too, in a way that Schilling has never been.

I agree. That's crazy!
Edit: Yeah the person below me is right. Boras isn't on drugs, the team that signs him will be on drugs. That means the Cubs.
Yes Cub fans give me a thumbs down. :)

8 mil plus easily reached incentives. I think it's up to 13 mil if the goals are reached. Don't forget that Curt has no agent to pay either.

That is crazy, but that is baseball. A-Rod and Boras thinks he is worth that much.

Considering that A-Rod is the main reason the Yankees made it to the playoffs I think it shows just how valuable he is.

Craig S. your argument may be correct but it still doesn't add up to g@yrod being worth anywhere near $30 million ayear.
