Looking at the Top Ten paid pitchers, its amazing what players are getting money. So the question is, Off the top of your head who would you say are the top three paid?

For those who need a place to clarify...

Without cheating, I'd guess Clemens, Mussina and Zito. No idea how far off that is though. And I hope Zambrano doesn't join them next season...

Edit: Zito's only making 10 million? I'm way off, his contract must be really backloaded.

Zito, Clemens, and Pettitte come to mind as the top 3, not sure though. I know Zito doesn't make a lot of money this year, but his average salary on the deal is sick.

Edit- Also, "pictures", come on your better at english than that MP.

Zito, Clemens, and...Mike Hampton?

I'd guess -

Hampton - Clemens - Colon?

I figure any original picture of Hitler would be the highest.

Now that's funny!!! :bowdown:

Maybe some works by Ansel Adams would bring in some good money. Now are these "pictures" or can they be paintings?? LOL :rofl2:

I would have to go with Zito, Clemens, and maybe Schilling

yeah, i thought i'd see a picture of koufax or something like that.

is clemens really one of the top 3?

I hear signed pictures of Honus Wagner go for alot.

The real answer, apparently, is Clemens, Pettitte and Colon. Hampton and Jason Schmidt just miss. But it's just for this year, if it was for the average over the length of the contract, Zito would definitely be there.

I would go with clemens if you are looking at an overall career standpoint.

Of course it has to be Clemens. Also I think it is Zito and Halladay?

It was shocking to see Colon and Pettitte there in the list. Then from there there is a long list of 13 Million dollar pitchers.

The LA teams must really regret the Colon and Schmidt deals.

Its too early to tell about the Schmidt deal. But when the Angels signed Colon I thought they paid a little more than he deserved.

No...I'm pretty sure it's safe to call it awful.
