Baseball's Most Underpaid Players

Why is Albert Pujols looking to break the bank?
Maybe because no one was more underpaid last season.
为什么Albert Pujols要捞一笔大的？大概是因为去年没人比他更超值。
Will Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols get a 10-year, $300 million deal
on the free agent market this winter? It's tough to say. Pujols is baseball's
premier hitter of the last decade, but he also plays a position that's deep
in offensive talent and, at 31, he's off to a slow start this year (.248
batting average; .743 OPS). He'll surely get a great deal, but many teams
figure to shy away from paying him megabucks until he's 40.
红雀一垒手Albert Pujols这个冬天在自由球员市场，拿的到10年、3亿的合约吗？
难讲！
Pujols是这个棒球世代最强打者之一，在这位置他展现出极优秀的打击天份。但本
季棒子很慢热，撷自四月底只有0.248的 BA，跟0.743的OPS。确定的是他仍然会获
得一份大合约，但付这么大笔的钱付到他40岁？许多球队依然却步。
But while projecting ahead is tricky, putting the recent past into
perspective isn't. Even though he made $16 million last season, enough to
place him among the top 2% of MLB wage earners, Pujols stands as baseball's
most underpaid player for 2010. With his typical monster year (1.011 OPS, 42
homers, .312 batting average), Pujols rightfully should have earned almost
$44 million.
尽管世事如棋，王老师莫测，有过去这些成绩却不难预估Pujols的未来。虽然上季
他拿一千六百万，足够让他身价晋身全联盟前2%，但他依然是2010最超值的球员。
去年打出的鬼神数字(1.011 OPS, 42 HRs, .312 BA)一如往常，而这些数字让他有
权拿到差不多四千四百万的年薪。
