Ozzie Smith might be the most overrated player in the history of the game. And yes -- whatever he was getting paid, I'm certain it was way too much.

That's not what he asked though. He asked if he should have earned 400k a year.

I thought I answered it by saying "whatever he was getting paid, I'm certain it was way too much." But fine -- I'll be more precise.
Given the era he played in, 400k would have been too much. Maybe near the end of his career, after he had all that service time.
