Cummings continues to be one of the best steals in MLS. Casey, along with Brian Ching, is the highest paid non-DP player in the league. Claudio Lopez is getting 120K to do essentially nothing so far. Jamie Smith is finally starting to earn his paycheck, but he's got a way to go to justify the 182K he's getting this year. Ballouchy actually took a salary cut, maybe that explains his better play this season.
