	Great quiz. I may be wrong, but the Yankees are paying most of Burnett's salary, so does that technically make him the highest paid player for the Pirates?

	sox8998:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 04:50 GMT		1 point
	vernon wells is making 18 million a year and pujols is making over 25 million a year, both for the angels

	dabbas:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 04:52 GMT		7 points
	Hey, it's based on how much they make during THIS year. They don't make the same amount each year. Some are frontloaded and some are backloaded. Pujols gets paid more a year toward the end of his contract. https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tWBCtH8eoSECZxhX-dRCHIw&output=html And for the quiz, it's irrelevant who pays, it's just who is the highest paid player. Thanks!

	killer quiz! up to date and spot on.

	Hahaha Brian Rolston

	rolltide2014:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 06:00 GMT		3 points
	@sox...the angels had to backload pujols deal in order to sign him and wilson...i wanna say hes only getting like 15M this year, so for 2012 he is technically not the highest paid

	sbshuffler85:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 11:45 GMT		0 points
	I'm not sure if this matters, but the Marlins are only paying 3 mil of zambrano's salary, the cubs are paying most.

	brodiedex:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 14:09 GMT		1 point
	if you're using the CAP HIT for the NHL which is the average amount over the life of the contract, why wouldn't that be the metric used for all of the 4 sports in this quiz? In MLB, the quiz is using the player with the highest salary for this year, and not the average amount per year. Just seems inconsistent.

	Frappuccino:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 14:31 GMT		1 point
	@papi, the yankees are eating most of his contract but the pirates are still paying 5 mill of it. What's sad is, @ 5 million he still is their highest paid player.

	Jorge De La Rosa?!

	Qu1nn:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 22:54 GMT		1 point
	what about Albert Pujols? And how is La Rosa making more than Tulowitzki

	dabbas:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 03:03 GMT		1 point
	The cap hit isn't just what they make yearly. Signing bonuses aren't necessarily distributed evenly, which is why there is a discrepancy.

	120watts:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:05 GMT		4 points
	Mark Sanchez being the highest paid player on the Jets sure says a lot about that team

	PublicEnemy:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 04:22 GMT		2 points
	Lol Gomez gets all that money and he has 1 goal in the past year.

	Koheen:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 17:12 GMT		3 points
	This was great. Much harder than I thought. I tried every Marlin I could think of but forgot Big Z (man Reyes' contract is REALLY backloaded)

	CorneliusTree:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 18:52 GMT		2 points
	It's amazing that Boozer is the highest paid player on the Bulls. It makes sense and I got it, but he's competing for third best player on that team behind Rose and Deng.

	dabbas:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 22:45 GMT		5 points
	@snyderman No, you should learn how to spell. And Pujols's contract is backloaded. See above. @CorneliusTree As a Chicagoan, you're preaching to the choir. Sigh.

	Godfather_II:	Feb 24th, 2012 at 01:48 GMT		2 points
	hahaha I just looked up Tony Romo's weirdly re-structured contract. Talk about backloading... He made $810,000 base last year and he's making $9,000,000 base this year.

	anthonyjpf:	Feb 27th, 2012 at 16:21 GMT		2 points
	You know you're team doesn't have a lot of money when KEITH YANDLE is your highest paid player on your team.

	GrooGruxKing:	Feb 28th, 2012 at 18:33 GMT		1 point
	New York Islanders needs to be updated now that Brian Rolston is gone. Even funnier is the guy who's going to replace him...

	NS7:	Feb 28th, 2012 at 21:50 GMT		1 point
	@ Groo - yeah that's the only NHL one I missed. Might have missed him anyway because I forgot he still played hockey. As a Bruins fan, I sure hope he earns his 1.25 million or so he's owed.

	dabbas:	Feb 29th, 2012 at 03:55 GMT		1 point
	@Groo -- Fixed, thanks!

	Noisewater:	Mar 2nd, 2012 at 00:54 GMT		0 points
	Ugh @Groo. There is absolutely nothing funny about DiPietro, or the Islanders, or that dump that Nassau County refuses to replace.

	tk925:	Mar 2nd, 2012 at 20:37 GMT		2 points
	This is a great quiz and surprisingly hard. I struggled with the Indians for a while thinking it couldn't be anyone but Travis Hafner, but I agree with your methodology, which made it even more fun.

	dabigpig:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 21:56 GMT		1 point
	Doesnt Todd Helton make $23 million a year for the rockies?

	NGBags11:	Mar 6th, 2012 at 01:49 GMT		1 point
	baseball-reference has Ethier at $10.95 and Lilly at $10.5, other than that i cant find anything wrong (no matter how much i think it is), nice quiz!

	dabbas:	Mar 6th, 2012 at 19:02 GMT		1 point
	@NGBags11: cot's contracts (who i trust more than BR for money stats) has lily higher at 11.67m to Ethier's 10.95m \|\| @dabigpig Helton allowed the Rox to backload this contract, so he's really only making 4.9m this year.

	Kwin:	Mar 11th, 2012 at 00:05 GMT		1 point
	That's hilarious! No, it's Hilario.

	generalshrapnel:	Mar 28th, 2012 at 22:09 GMT		2 points
	It's a sad day for the A's when their highest-paid player is someone who has never played in MLB. At least they don't have to deal with Zito's contract, right?

	zachup:	Mar 31st, 2012 at 02:14 GMT		0 points
	Francisco Cordero is the highest paid Blue Jay for the 2011-12 season. Bautista's contract is back loaded and cordero just got reeled in for big money. Check ESPN MLB payrolls.

	dabbas:	Apr 1st, 2012 at 09:56 GMT		0 points
	@zachup No. Cot's contracts is the most reliable source, and you're misinformed on Bautista's contract. (Source 1:) https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tlGuOwsSqqOBS4H6hAg-Q_Q&output=html \| (Source 2:) http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/7332/jose-bautistas-win-win-deal

	Are the Oakland A's still playing Moneyball or have they just given up altogether?

	fwchoi:	Oct 20th, 2012 at 04:45 GMT		2 points
	How the heck did 76% of people get James Wisniewski correct??? Even after Nash left I figure people would have no clue who is on the roster.

	EpicWinFTW:	Jan 31st, 2013 at 03:25 GMT		2 points
	I can see that you've updated this. That can be to only reason Wisniewski, Uggla, and Turkoglu are so high.

	toocool4school:	Feb 4th, 2013 at 04:42 GMT		2 points
	Interesting that Wisniewski was guessed more than both Crosby and Ovechkin..

	josh23:	Feb 11th, 2013 at 05:16 GMT		1 point
	I find it basically impossible to believe Wisniewski is the most guessed NHL player... Also even though hockey is the least popular sport I'm surprised less than 50% got ovechkin.
