Reply to "Albert Pujols"

I always find it amazing that nobody criticises a movie star for making 20 million dollars per movie or a TV star from making 100,000 an episode or Tiger Woods or LeBron from making $100,000,000 a year for endorsing products they may not even use except that the product is given to them free, yet Pujols who gave his team incredible value for his pay is critcised when he tries to get his fair market share.

Pay for baseball skills is not exponential--great, irriplaceable talent should get the vast amount of compensation. It is the guys who don't draw crowds, who don't really do anything good by ML standards, yet see their pay increased over and over due to the strongest union around and an arbitration process where the player almost can't lose that bothers me. Puljos is an incredibly special talent and must be compensated like one.
