Eyre is on the overpaid team.

[JeffH]

They should have just used the entire Cub roster.

[Soriano12]

For the All-Overpaid team he could have saved himself 20 minutes by simply typing 2007 Chicago Cubs

 

edit...Jeff beat me to it :lol:

OF: J.D. Drew, Boston, $14.4 million – And to think, the Red Sox are on the hook for four more years of this. Drew's batting average has vacillated between awful and abysmal, he left any semblance of power back in Los Angeles and, if not for the Red Sox's dominance, he'd be hearing boos all the way from Maine.

[Soriano12]

The BoSox didn't sign Drew for his BA, though his SLG% has been just terrible so far this season.

hey, at least we didn't sign jd drew

[Elrhino]

Or Julio Lugo, as many were clamoring for.

articles about underpaid players are stupid

[YearofDaCubs]

I would gladly take JD Drew and his contract over Soriano and his contract.

underpaid? If you meant to write that then I agree, simply because the underpaid players will all be really good young players who haven't reached arbitration yet. For example:

 

1b: Ryan Howard ($0.9M)

2b: Kelly Johnson ($0.38M)

3b: David Wright ($1M)

SS: Hanley Ramirez ($0.402M)

C: Russell Martin ($0.3875M)

OF: Brad Hawpe ($0.403M)

OF: Grady Sizemore ($0.75M)

OF: Curtis Granderson ($0.41M)

SP: Chad Gaudin ($0.4M)

SP: Chris Young ($0.75M)

SP: Cole Hamels ($0.4M)

SP: Rich Hill ($0.4M)

SP: Felix Hernandez ($0.42M)

RP: Takashi Saito ($1M)

 

hey look my team is awesome and makes less than a million each! why don't the cubs build a team like this!!!!11one!!1

did you look at the article? Perhaps you should before you judge.

Many of the Hendry-haters would have acquired Abreu, Drew, Lugo, Zito, and B.J. Ryan and still think the GM's job is easy. As a GM, you have to pay inflated market value or else you are accused of not making any moves.

actually a lot of people liked Jason Schmidt. Whoops.

I don't think you can point the finger at BJ Ryan. The guy got injured. 2 months ago he was arguably one of the best closers in the game, and considerd to be somewhat of a bargain, now he's injured and he's all of a sudden he's a horrible signing?

 

I think his situation is more of a disappointment than an overpaid mistake
