General WiretapHalladay And Sabathia Surge In RealGM's Player Rankings
The player with the highest FIC for the season, therefore, ?deserves? the highest salary, which is Alex Rodriguez?s $28 million contract for 2008. Because Ben Sheets is currently the leader, he ?deserves? $28 million, and since he is ?actually? making $12.125 million, the difference is 131%, and that becomes his Reina Value.
