Is Jason Bay the worst $60M signing ever?

[zjcvols]

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.

Tbd. John Lackey is in contention. Carl Pavano fell $20 million short of qualifying.

What was Mike Hampton's contract again?

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

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

This.

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.

But Esasky had a freak illness, he didn't seemingly forget how to play the game.

Went 30/100+ for the Reds. In 1990 the Braves signed him to pretty big deal at the time. Dude contracted vertigo and played all of 9 games in a Braves uniform. I'm pretty sure he stayed on the payroll for 4 years.

Chan Ho Park and Barry Zito rank up there as well.

Jason Schmidt to the Dodgers in '07 was pretty horrendous.

Go look up this MFer's contract. Worse than Mike Hampton's once you consider percentage of the team's payroll and how little production they got.

I'll give him one thing. Great beard.

 

[ionaVOL]

Keeping with the OP's original Mets theme...aren't they still paying Bobby Bonilla? For like 25 more years?

 

[emainvol]

Chan Ho Park and Barry Zito rank up there as well.

Barry Zito is still in the neighborhood of effective, don't think he belongs in the same discussion as Park, who was simply a turd.

 

[emainvol]

Also, Jayson Werth was signed for twice that, and he is almost as ****ty.
