Called who is the worst MLB player to sign a ludicrous contract. Because I'm lazy I'll just list the top three and tell you why they are terrible, terrible contracts.
1. Barry Zito(7 years, $126 Million)- What kind of retarded franchise would give Barry Zito a contract you ask? The same team that would pay a 86 year old Ray Durham $7 million, and a 92 year old Omar Vizquel $5 million, the San Francisco Giants. Once again a franchise gets swept away by the fact that the guy won a Cy Young(which he didn't even deserve), and ignores the fact that the guy doesn't strike anybody out.
2. Carl Pavano- The Yankees gave Pavano a 40 million dollar contract and got exactly six wins, one lied about car accident, and two arm surgery's. Not quite the Cy Young candidate they hoped on getting.
3. Gary Matthews Jr.(5 years, $50 Million)- Make one miraculous play get a enormous deal, I guess. Coming off an extremely mediocre year the Angels signed Matthews to be their long term centerfielder but instead got an HGH using, .252 hitter. I guess they realized their mistake, because they signed Tori Hunter this off-season. Oh well, every team can use a 50 million dollar pinch hitter.
