The Baseball Stars

Ichiro probably has the largest fan club in all of professional sports. His star power generates a huge audience and has created television deals for the Mariners in Japan and other lucrative deals that range in the hundreds of millions. He has generated alone millions of extra tickets sold for the Mariners from Japanese coming to Seattle . He usually breaks all records in all star ballots and seems to be the most fun player to watch in all of baseball do to his ability to out run infield hits and throwing people out in the outfield. His position on the team as a leadoff hitter doesn't always generate as many wins as a Barry Bonds and his position in the outfield might not be as important as an infielders job when generating wins, but shouldn't the player that generates the highest profits for the team all year be given the highest contract? If the Rockets generate hundreds of millions from Asian countries on Mou Ying, should they pay him the most based on generating more profits.
