Wood really shouldnt be on the underpaid team. We signed him for that price because of his history of injury. If he can make it through this year without issue, I assure you he'll make much more this year, if not by us, by someone.

Only one Cub, Kerry Wood. He's on the underpaid team.

 

 

I was particularly fond of one name on the overpaid list...

 

 

Derek Jeter

 

Warner Wolf, an olde tymey sports anchor in NY known for "Let's go to the videotape", does little NY-centric monologues during Mike and Mike in the morning in the NY market. This morning he was referencing an SI poll that labeled Jeter as the most overrated player in the game. He then insinuated it must be jealousy because Jeter and the others on the list are among the highest paid players. A lot of fans have actually learned to understand that Jeter is overpaid and overrated, but large portions of the NY media still worship the ground the man walks on.

Soto makes 401k and no it's not a retirement plan.

I wondered why the heck Miguel Olivo made the list instead.

 

And in reference to Jeter and NYers, it is so true. They are so stubborn about how awesome he is. Yes, he's good. But he's not God. People treat him like he's the best ball player in the world and flame everyone who thinks otherwise. I casually said to my dad and bro that he's overrated and they told me I'm stupid.

They didn't list anyone who wasn't eligible for arbitration yet.
