2015 Stats: 1-5 record, 4.57 ERA, 63 IP, 47 SO

Overpaid, overpaid big time. Hard to knock Verlander though, this past year started with him and Kate Upton’s phone getting hacked, then dealt with an elbow injury for most of this season, but at the end of the day he still goes home to Kate Upton & $28 million bucks.
