Do you know who the Highest Paid Cincinnati Red is?

The Reds are competing for first place in the NL Central this late in the season for the first time in a long time. I was surfing through some Reds info and found a page listing the teams salaries. Obviously Griffey and Dunn are two of the highest paid players on the team, but they're not making the most money on the Reds. The man with the biggest bank account in '06 is Eric Robert Milton. The lefty version of Russ Ortiz is 4-4 with a 5.14 ERA. He's making a whopping $9,833,333 this season and coming off a dominating performance on Tuesday, throwing 5.1 IP, allowing 6 ER and 3 HRs to the American League Powerhouse known as Kansas City Royals.

Hold your breath...the Top 5 Highest Paid Reds Players in '06

1 Eric Milton - $9,833,333

2 Ken Griffey Jr. - $9,044,182

3 Adam Dunn - $7,500,00

4 Paul Wilson (DL) - $3,900,00

5 Jason Larue (DL) - $3,750,00
