but are players really "over" paid...look at how much money the owners be making. Also , right now Dontrelle Willis is vastly underpaid, and when he finishes his service time he's gonna want a huge paycheck for the numbers he put up in his few years in MLB

dontrelle willis is in his what..3rd yr i think..he is not yet a developed veteran, i think highest payed players should be the veterans and then ur potential superstars. dont get me wrong hes a phenomenal athelete but hes got 10-12 more years to go..he doesnt need to start raising his salary, its unnecessary and selfish of players to think of support of a team over a few mil.

I know that is why a baseball player needs to spend a certain number of years before they can become FA's. They need to complete their service so they dont have to go through arbirtation with their teams. Willis has 10-12 more years to go for what? If Willis continues the way he pitches, when he becomes a FA in 2008 he's gonna demand at the very least a 5/50 type of contract. It will just be aburd not to. Guys like fucking Tomko are getting paid 6 million a year, you have to look at the situation they are in.
