I can't wait till the Braves are done with his contract.

Eh, the Braves aren't paying the full amount. Trust me, this deal was really good for Atlanta - Schuerholz makes very few poor contract-based decisions.

Is Pujols the only player on the list worth more than his salary?

Uhhhhhhhhh.....

Barry Bonds is on that list you know.

I know he's not on that list but the Mets are still paying Edgardo Alfonzo 8 million a year. That has got to be up there with BAD.

I am pretty sure Darryl Strawberry is receiving salary payments, now that you mention it.

Rumor has it Hampton was looking good throwing BP at the end of the season. Maybe he'll actually get a start and some wins next year.
