Chan Ho Park makes more than the entire Florida Marlins team

[miri]

I was a little surprised that Chan Ho Park is still playing, but finding out his salary is larger than the entire Florida Marlins team is surprising.

 

[skim milk]

of the whole team or the entire team's salary combined?
how much does he make?

 

[raystorm]

Marlins payroll: $14,344,500

Chan Ho Park 2006 salary: $15,333,679

 

[miri]

His Salary this year is $15,333,679

The Florida Marlins payroll for their team is less than 15 mililion

 

[Phokus]

wtf, the marlins' payroll is only 14 mil? that can't be right... no wonder i don't watch baseball anymore!

 

[Sukhoi]

John Hart is a god.

Less than 15 mil for the entire team?? Damn...how cheap can you get.

 

[herkulease]

why are you surprised he's still playing?

he's only 32.

heck Julio Franco is still playing. the guy is 47. He started when many of the Oakland As players are still in diapers or just barely got out of them.

 

[BeauJangles]

Not because of his age, more because of his general crappiness.

That's how they do it...

1. Spend big money
2. Win a World Series
3. Fire sale - Trade away all the good players
4. Scale payroll back to nothing
5. Suffer for a few years
6. Repeat

It's worked twice so far.

The Marlins have never lost a playoff series. How could that happen?

they recruit kids out of AAA and minor league baseball. i guess they have an eye for talent.
