Prior was the biggest winner at the bank among the 63 players picked Sunday for the July 15 game in Chicago, according to a study of contracts by The Associated Press on Monday.

Prior's contract calls from him to get a $100,000 bonus for his All-Star selection and $500,000 salary increases in the 2004, 2005 and 2006 seasons. With the extra income, the value of his five-year contract has increased from $10.5 million to $12.1 million.

Three others also received automatic raises next year because they were chosen for the game. Montreal second baseman Jose Vidro got a $250,000 increase to $7.75 million, Anaheim outfielder Garret Anderson received a $350,000 boost to $6.2 million and Milwaukee first baseman Richie Sexson got a $300,000 bump to $8.6 million.

All three of those players also are getting $25,000 bonuses for making their All-Star teams.

In all, forty-seven players will receive a total of $2.24 million in bonuses, up from $1,875,000 for the players picked for the original teams last year. The figures don't include the salary increases for subsequent seasons.

Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki gets the largest bonus, $125,000. Barry Bonds, Kevin Brown, Alex Rodiguez, C.C. Sabathia and Prior each get $100,000, and Manny Ramirez and Kerry Wood both get $75,000.
