What does his salary have to do with this? He made a lot of money because he is a 15 year veteran. In the same vein, Barry Zito made more in 2010 than Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, and Bumgarner combined. Also, JJ Hardy made 5.1M, not 510K

Oh, I just thought the salary was interesting, especially since we don't yet know what it will be next year. Timing of free agency tends to dictate your salary; note how low Starlin Castro's salary was (it was actually lower, since he wasn't in the majors the whole time) only because he is a rookie and has years before free agency.

The salary does matter. On the open market, Jeter might be worth about 7-20 mllion a year. If the Yanks pay him anywhere near 20 million, it just shows how their revenues effects what they do.

yup. He is an all-time Yankee, but it actually looks like the orginization might take a stand with him this off-season, indicating things might get "messy". He is one of the best (read top 15) SS of all-time, but his reputation is built largely on his postseason stats. Hard to call him a great hitter and he's never been better than average in the field.
