Sometimes I need to go beyond simple stats. Sometimes I pick a player to be a leader in the clubhouse; to be a role model for the young fans; to give financial advice to his teammates; to blackmail the umpires; hell, sometimes you just need someone to run a successful carwash for the team.

For all those reasons I’ll go with
1993 Lenny Dykstra $8,104,390

Sometimes I need to go beyond simple stats. Sometimes I pick a player to be a leader in the clubhouse; to be a role model for the young fans; to give financial advice to his teammates; to blackmail the umpires; hell, sometimes you just need someone to run a successful carwash for the team.

For all those reasons I’ll go with
1993 Lenny Dykstra $8,104,390

In the early 1990s, during a trip to Europe, Lenny Dykstra provided a Sports Illustrated reporter with the following quote: "Now, Paris is in France. But London, that's just London, right?"

I wrote down the wrong salary for ff09's proxy. He obviously wanted his partial season. I updated above. Calling it a night.

kstober has his Bonds, so jumping ahead:
