Frenchy makes seven times more than Salvy Perez and twice as much as Escobar. That's a frickin' crime.
Hoz, Moose, Holland, Herrera, Collins, Mendoza, Dyson, Duffy and Cain are all between 500 and 600 thou.
I guess when you're a player, you can't let guys like Hoch and Frenchy stealing money bother you. It would sure bother me if I were a starter.

Frenchy signed a free agent deal. Hochevar is arbitration eligible. Salvy and Escobar are both not eligible for either. That's the way it works in baseball and the players know that. Unfortunately for them they signed crap deals that take away their arbitration and a couple of FA years. Not unfortunate for the cheap-o Royals though.
