The Highest Paid Reliever in Baseball

haha
what makes me mad about this is that there are many people who blame Zito for taking the money!!
look at his numbers before he was signed, he had one dominating season and it was 5 years prior to that. San Fran and any other owners made the mistake of not making wise business decisions. Its not the players fault its the people who gave him the contract. He was never worth that money, not even in relative baseball numbers."Batting stats and pitching stats do not indicate the quality of play, merely which part of that struggle is dominant at the moment."

Let's see if he can at least perform as well as the 2nd highest paid reliever, who does happen to be paid by George: Mariano (8 saves, 0.00 ERA so far).Please read Baseball Fever Policy and Forum FAQ before posting. 2007-11 CBA

Never thought I'd see Barry coming out of the pen. But man, has he been terrible lately. Maybe he needs to start doing yoga and carrying that teddy bear around again.WAR? Prove it!

Great job inflating the prices, Zito!
Revenue sharing would have about took care of Santana's salary plus that multi millionaire owner of the Twins could open his wallet.

Actually, I think they were about the same because I lettered in all sports, and I was a two-time state decathlon champion.

My sophomore year I placed 2nd, and my junior and senior year - I got smart and piled up enough points between myself and second place where I didn't have to run the mile.

I can't blame the players at all for going after the money. If the owners are throwing it around, anyone in their right mind would be grabbing it

As a Dodger fan I'd like to laugh at the Giants for their apparently foolish move. I can't, though, for two basic reasons:
1) He may break out of his slump and become a quality starter again.
2) **cough!** Jason Schmidt **cough!**Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. - Yogi Berra

I don't think there was a pundit alive who didn't think the Zito signing was a bad one. Everything in his secondary stats said he was headed to mediocrity. The only hope they gave Barry was that he was going to a very big ballpark in which the ball does not carry well (except for another guy named Barry). Unfortunately that has just turned into more space for balls to land.Buck O'Neil: The Monarch of Baseball

For this reason, leaving the dugout to join a fight is generally considered acceptable in that it results in numerical equivalence on the field, and a fairer fight.
