Obviously I'm a tad biased but...

I'd pay $30 million for a guy who would lead my team to the WS 6/9 of the time.

No player is worth 19 million.

I cant really imagine Jeter on another team. He is just peitome of a Yankee.

I agree. The amount of money thrown at sports stars is just sickening.

I wouldn't even pay Jeter 10 mil if I had my way.

But he has intangibles!!!

Seriously though, Jeter isn't worth $19mil, but there were a lot of ridiculous contracts being offered when he signed his. Arod, Manny, Mussina, etc.

If Bonds is worth $18 mil, then no.

Re: Is Jeter Worth 19 mill?

No player is worth the amount of money they make except for Bonds (when healthy), Ortiz, and Pujols (becuase of their contracts).

Re: Is Jeter Worth 19 mill?

yep, he's worth whatever the market is willing to pay him. Although I think he's probably really worth 7-12 million a year range.

Actualy what I said was outrageous so I'm going to revise it a bit.

LIke Sully said... no player should be making $19 million... nonetheless thw $25 mil A-Rod makes... but lets see if Jeter's worth the money compared to other players who make a smiliar salary (hitters only).

2005 Salaries:

Manny- 19.8 million
Jeter- 19 million
Bagwell- 18 million
Sosa- 17.8 million
Piazza- 16 million
Chipper- 16 million


(All stats for 2005)

Jeter- 8.8
Manny- 6.6
Bagwell-.6
Sosa- .7
Piazza- 3.0
Chipper- 4.6

Manny- 68.6

So... is Jeter worth $19 million? Thats absolutely debateable. But is he worth $19 million compared to what other players are making? Absolutey, the stats dont lie.

Re: Is Jeter Worth 19 mill?

Out of that list....Ramirez is the only other player that's worth 19million.

So... is Jeter worth $19 million? Thats absluely debateable. But is he worth $19 million compred to what other players are making? Absolutey imo.

It's easy to make that argument when the players youre comparing him too are all washed up, outside of Manny. I could just as easily ask, Is he worth $19 million compared to Tejada's $12mil?

I know... but I even said in my post... you can debate whether he is worth the $19 million until you are blue in the face and still get no real answer. But compared to the guys who are "earning" those salaries... then I'd say he's worth the money if thats what those other guys are getting.
