Is there ANY star player in Baseball, who is actually worth what they make?

Roy Halladay.

Arguably the best pitcher in baseball (the debate goes on between him and Santana), for only $14 mil. He's a steal. He's the face of the Jays Franchise, has team loyalty (as evidenced by the fact that he chose to stay with the Jays for $14 mil instead of hitting the free agent market). He's involved in charities, and his wife has this to say about his attitude towards his paycheck and why he's involved in charity:

"It bothers him to make as much money as he does," Brandi, 34, said. "He feels like he's out there doing his job. Should he get paid? Of course he should be paid. But there's a lot of people out there that work hard. He works hard at what he does, but it doesn't mean that other people out there don't deserve those kinds of cheques, too. It's kind of humbling. (His charity work) is his way of paying back."

Chase Utley. He's making $15 million this year. He had a great year last year and has gotten off to a fantastic start this year.

He's about to be a four year All-Star (four consecutive years, to be exact) and hosting the 2nd annual Utley's Animal All-Stars on May 28 (which benefits Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). I guess that's not surprising seeing as he and his wife rescued a dog that had been beaten and tortured and footed the bill for the puppy's medical bills.

He packs seats and a whole lot of those seats are filled with fans wearing Utley jerseys/shirts.

In all the ways he benefits the city of Philadelphia and the Phillies Chase Utley is a steal. Great player and an awesome human being

Alex Rodriguez? You mean that same guy that's one of the most unconsistent players today, have a huge ego and hardly any leadership, and is an absolute mess with the news, which in turn hurts the organazation?

I'd like to say Jim Thome, but $15,000,000 is a little too much for a guy that's hitting near .260 every season. However, he does have a total of 111 home runs over three seasons with the Chi Sox, and is an expirenced team leader. He's one of the nicest guys in baseball, takes part in promotions, and host annual charity events (he actually organizes it).

Grady Sizemore is making less than $5 million (after a recent contract), but would be making over $15 million on any other team. He is a team leader who boosts the chemistry, plays the game the way it's supposed to be played, and takes part in charity events. He's practicaly the face of that franchise. He gets my vote.

Albert Pujols.

He consistently hits for average and power. Hitting a career .335 and hits 30 or more home runs each season. Even when the Cardinals are bad crowds still come for Pujols. He is very well liked in his community with the Pujols Family Foundation that focuses on faith, family and others. He is the best player on the team and the most important Cardinal in the organization besides the GM, Manager, and coaches.

I honestly think Albert Pujols is worth everything. Every year, he puts up MVP numbers, which in turn, draw paying crowds to watch him play. And then sports channels will cover the Cardinals and businesses will pay to have their ad on the channel. I know that the network gets that money, but who does the network pay? The Cardinals. And just loo at the work he has done around him. He started the Pujols Family fund for children with down syndrome and he always gives back to his native country, the Dominican Republic, by going down there and giving money, clothes, you name it to the people in need. Also, look at who he is married to. He found out that the woman he was dating already had a child who had down syndrome but he married her any way and treated the child like his own. If that isn't worth over 100 million dollars, i don't know what is.

Bobby Abreu-5 mil.

I still think hes deserves more, but personally I dont think any player should be getting over 15 mil+ a season regardless of what they can do.

Abreu is a .300/100 rbi/100 run/20/20 potential guy with a solid glove. 5 mil a year is not bad at all. I think this is fair for him and the team.

I think the people above me already said this, but King Albert Pujols is worth it, hes a hitting machine, hes NOT human, hes a hitting machine, could easily win MVP every year if healthy, plus he seems like a nice guy doing charity and all that.

Ryan Braun has a contract for 8 years at 44-51 million. Not an astounding contract, but he has been worth every single penny of it.

When he signed last season for this contract he never debated it or asked for more, he said he just wanted to get out and play and the money was more than enough for him.

More reasons why he is my favorite on the Brew Crew.

Well, it's not really HUGE money, but Gary Sheffield is getting paid the league minimum for being a part time outfielder and a pinch hitter for the Mets. So, Gary's getting paid much less than what's he's worth. He's been playin' pretty decently so far too, so I feel the Mets are getting there money's worth so far.

Tori Hunter when he was with the twins he was one of the most productive center fielders in the game. He was also very well know in my region. He still is even though he is now currently with the angels. Most people over look him though.
