| Is Jason Bay the worst $60M signing ever?
Since joining the Mets, his slash line is .236/.322/.369, bad defense, only played in 262 games with 23 homers, an OPS+ of 92, and a total WAR of 1.1 in almost three years.

| Vernon Wells made over TWENTY SIX millions dollars last year. Had a .660 OPS, 84 OPS+, and a -0.8 WAR.
21 mil this year for a -0.2 WAR.
Nice job Riccardi | |

| Pull up a chair and let me tell you about Nick Esasky. The money was different back then, but no big money ree agent signing in the history of the world can hold a candle to it. | |
