Perhaps the Boss shouldn't have invested $16 mil a year in Andy Pettitte and made a more aggressive run at Matsuzaka.
Today to fill up space in the scoreboard page in the Herald the has a column with the 75 top 2007 salaries...
1. Arod $27,708,525
2. Steroid Giambi $23,428,571
3. Boot 2 Jeets $21,600,000
4. Money Ramirez $17,016,381
5. Fraud Helton $16,600,000
6t. Bartolo Colonoscopy: $16,000,000
6t. Andy Pettitte: $16,000,000
Now I think Pettitte was a very good pitcher in his hey day, but the 6th highest salary this year in MLB??
If only Seinfeld were still on so Frank Costanza could confront Steinbrenner about this.
(Of course Pettitte is probably not the worst of the group, Richie Sexson the #12 overall salary at $15,500,000??? sweet jeebus)
