Is there anybody more overpaid in the MLB than Vernon Wells? Wow he sucks this year. 18 million a season for him? a .260 average and 14 homers, 67 RBI as of today? That's just....wow.

I've never seen a player who seems to hit into so many double plays or strikeout at a key moment. He also hardly ever runs out a groundball very hard, instead throwing his helmet around and swearing so loud you can hear it on the Jays telecast. Granted, he's a great outfielder but I was quite skeptical when they signed him last December and all the Jays fans here were going nuts.

are you sure 18 million? according to this site he's making a little over 8. he's still overrated imo.

in December he signed a 7 year, $126 million dollar contract extension, which I guess will kick in next season. It's hard for me not to ignore a deal like that involving a Blue Jay since all the Canadian sports channels naturally make it the biggest story of the day. The contract has a no-trade clause and an opt-out like Arod's after 4 seasons but still....18 million for this guy next year? YIKES! Awesome signing Riccardi!!

hmm...excellent point. I should have said any player in the MLB that isn't a pitcher since Clemens isn't justifying his ridiculous salary right now either, although at least he's not tied down for 7 years!

I really have never liked Wells...something about him bugs the shit out of me and I really wish he had just gone to Texas so I don't have to see him get interviewed every night on the sports shows here. On top of that, he's not that great of an offensive player either.

see I don't think Rocket is overpaid... cause he's a HOF'er, and he's on the Yanks, so he should be overpaid since the Yanks signed him... if he was on the... Rangers and they paid him that much, then he'd be overpaid...

I loved Vernon Wells two yeasrs ago, but he's just come back down to earth is all... plus Alex Rios has exploded, so that doesn't help him much...

Barry freaking Zito is easily the worst contract. Like EVER.

Soriano is pretty close too. That's a lot of money for what he's gonna give them 5 years from now.

Jason Juiceambi is a crappy contract too. Over 20 million for .260, 30 HR's, horrible defense (thus DH0, clog on the basepaths. At least he's nice. Injury prone too from the juice wearing off.

Dice K isn't worth 100 million. You won't convince me otherwise. However, Kei ICRAPwa is so freaking god awful it's ridiculous. It's comical actually.

I'd take Soriano over Vernon Wells any day of the week though.

You're right about Igawa...I don't know what the Yankees were thinking there but he didn't impress AT ALL.

no, but he's ABSOLUTELY worth the six-year, $52 million dollar deal he signed...

they paid $51 million to the Seibu Lions... so that doesn't go to him, so no one SAYS he's overpaid, except you!

yeah but RS Nation retards don't care about the extra $51 million, cause he actually came through... he should have at least 15-17 wins right now, if the offense didn't fucking suck and actually scored runs for the guy...

Don't get me wrong, he's a good pitcher. Just he's been a little inconsistent for 100 million. I'd take him though. He's freaking 3 trillion times better than Igawa.
