And Here Are Your 2010 All Star Game Payrolls

Off Base intern @Filosomesa recently wondered what the payrolls of the All Star teams would look like. I thought that was a great idea so I sent him over to Cot's Baseball Contracts to do all of the work for me. I'm very busy with all of my afternoon naps and whatnot. Don't worry though, we pay him handsomely in potato chips.

A few quick notes before we get to some numbers that are going to make me feel bad about myself. These are the salaries for the 2010 season, we rounded to the nearest $1,000 and there are no bonuses included. If any players would like to donate their All Star bonuses to our site, we'd appreciate it and we take personal checks and Paypal. Please hurry, I'm hungry. Okay, on to some gaudy numbers...

Notes: It shouldn't comes as a surprise the the AL out monies the NL for the All Star rosters. The Yankees players ($81,047,000) make more than the NL's starting lineup. Somebody needs to check the basement in old Yankee Stadium, I'm certain they're printing money there. That can't be legal.

Joey Votto is going to clean up in arbitration this offseason. Arbitration season is my fourth favorite part of the baseball year. 1) Hot Stove 2) Fantasy Baseball Draft 3) Opening Day 4) Arbitration Season 5) Angels getting knocked out of the playoffs

Derek Jeter makes too much money.

I'm not very good with HTML.

Tampa Bay and Florida have to be ecstatic with the contracts of Evan Longoria and Hanley Ramirez.

Alright, I'm tired of this post.
