vicman Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 obviously he deserves more than the 5 mill. he made last year. i would say about 15-16 ... stretching it maybe 17. pedro was the highest paid pitcher at 17.5 on his last contract w/ the sox which he signed when he was at his peak.

jtk4 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Compare the hitting of those years to 99-2001. Also compare other pitchers era to each pitcher. Pedro was I think almost a run and a half better then the next person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayluhb Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Pedro was indeed one of the best in his peak. I don't know if he was better than Greg Maddux, Nolan Ryan, Koufax, or Randy Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolahotass Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I think anything over 10 million is absolutely absurd for any player of any sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
