Juan Uribe is about to sign a 3-year deal with the Dodgers for $21MM. He made $3.25MM with the Giants in 2010, which made him the 13th highests paid player on the team. He played third, short and second base, and was a big reason behind San Francisco's success.
Matt Kemp made $4MM playing centerfield for the Dodgers last season. That placed him 9th in salary on the LA roster. (salary figures from ESPN) He was a big reason behind the Los Angeles Dodges disaster of a season.
The two players had remarkably similar seasons, by the numbers:
Player 1: 28 homers; 89 RBI; .249 AVG; .760 OPS
Player 2: 24 homers; 85 RBI; .248 AVG; .749 OPS
Player 2 is Uribe, who had a fantastic season.
Player 1 is Kemp, who has a fantastic girlfriend.
See, the numbers don't tell you everything
