Meet Ken Williams. He is big Dave's better. Here are some people who work for Ken, and approximately how much they're being paid by the White Sox:
Darin Erstad - $1,000,000 / 2007 salary
Scott Podsednik - $2,900,000 / 2007 salary
Joe Crede - $4,940,000 / 2007 salary
Jermaine Dye - $7,000,000 / 2007 salary
Jose Contreras - $9,000,000 / 2007 salary
Yikes. Not great contracts for Mr. Williams. I guess he should have thought better than to sign people to multi-million dollar deals coming off career years that most likely will never be replicated. Ah well. Anyhoo, here's someone who also works in Chicago, as well as an approximate figure of how much he's getting paid by the Pittsburgh Pirates this season:
Jason Kendall - $12,858,194 / 2007 salary
If Ken Williams turned out to be a nazi, then I would probably be swayed to think he was worse than Dave Littlefield. Actually I wouldn't be, considering that Littlefield never had the dumb luck to bring home a championship.
