In trying to see if I could find something, I ran across this amusing article:
Quote:
Jayson Werth is the 31-year-old outfielder who signed a massive $126 million contract with the Washington Nationals. In honor of SportsOlogy’s deep Washington, DC metro area ties, we will be running a semi-regular tracking feature called “Werth’s Worth.” We at SportsOlogy consider ourselves wordsmiths. But we also play with numbers a bit, because numbers can be fun! Unfortunately, we only learned how to do averages, so we can only operate on those terms. Here’s what we found: Werth’s contract means he will make $18 million per year. For a 162-game season, that means each game is worth about $111,111. Let’s get started with the Nationals’ Opening Day game against the visiting Atlanta Braves!

Jayson Werth ripped a stellar single to center in the first inning; teammates and opponents alike stared in awe at the beauty and precision with which Werth struck the ball. Knowing he needed to do no more to help his team’s efforts, Werth finished the game 1-4 with one strikeout, meaning he currently boasts a .250 batting average for the season. Look out, NL East! Jayson Werth is prepared to unleash a season of fiery and impassioned performances on opponents as he carries the Nationals to the NL Pennant! Werth allowed the Nats to lose to the Braves, 2-0, to ensure that the team doesn't fall into the dangerous pitfalls of early season hubris.
