Atlanta Brave manager Bobby Cox is on the right track or is he? He said Tuesday that St. Louis Cardinals superstar Albert Pujols ought to get $50 million a year in his next contract. Cox, who has announced his retirement effective at the end of the season, said Pujols is twice as good as any player in the league. Cox came up with the salary figure after Phillies star Ryan Howard signed an extension worth $25 million a year for five years. Pujols probably is twice as good as any other player in the league. But ticket prices already are high enough, and Major League Baseball's attendance is down this year. I don't see higher salaries and higher ticket prices changing that trend any time soon. I agree with Bobby that Pujols is a great player, however, paying him or anybody else $300,000 plus per game is insane.
