    Deljuan Robinson is moving into the house next door to my parents. Nice to see he is being frugal with his $385,000.

    Chuck Hayes? $1.9 Million? He should thank God every morning.

    Exactly. The majority of Smith's guaranteed money is upfront. His per anum salary from here on will be considerably less.

    Does baseball really make that much money? Look at all those Astro players.

    Ahem. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

    Between this and the odds of getting into the NBA/NFL/MLB, I can't decide which is the best incentive for not pursuing a career in sports (as an athlete). :)

    Yeah, my mind was blown hard. Why the heck do these guys not go to major EU leagues?

    Maybe because they are not good enough?

    I don't see why the MLS is on there though, might as well put the Aeros on there since both are subpar leagues.

    Battier should be around 5 million ~ full MLE tops
    Hayes should be at the vets min, he should thank JVG and his system for making him look good
    Brian Cook's salary ... he was resigned by the Lakers, who aren't afraid to be generous with their money. He semi-deserved that 3.5 mil at the time.

    Yeah, I saw they had Antonio Smith so high. They added in his ENTIRE signing bonus as his salary for this year. While he is going to make that much this year, that's not really what his salary is. They should've divided his bonus by the number of years of his contract to get a better number. It's hard to compare NFL contracts to MLB/NBA.
