As bad as the contract Zito is, at least he’s a productive player who has stayed healthy thus far.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Zito’s contract, by it’s length alone is far worse than Andruw Jones’s 2 year deal. easily.

Bonds stands alone.

Didn’t the Dodgers turn that deal from a 2-year into a smaller annual value over a longer period of time?

WHY IS BOCOCK?!

Terrible list. Wells should be way higher, and Soriano should be on that list.

Water is wet

because each particle of water is is surrounded by water therefore the particle of water in question is wet. Therefore water is wet.

your reasoning is dizzyingly sound

I hear he and Wilson (and Affeldt and Gerard) have been given miniHD camcorders to record their offseason and spring training.

I’m looking forward to the sex tape!

Wow. There is a lot of fall from grace and the evil that caused it in this pic.

I feel bad for Jason Schmidt. He could not recognize his own hubris at a pivotal moment? WE CREATED HIM…and he betrayed us. The powers that be could not stand for such insolence.

I suppose that second sentence could be interpreted as a question, if you so desire.

Don't you know it was an act of sabotage?

Cost the Dodgers millions without ever throwing a pitch!

I look forward to having him inaugurated into the Wall of Fame when he retires.

If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.

Agent Ned!

Utter frustration and futility.

You know if Athletic wuz Right

Zito could end up with one of those stat lines commentators love to throw at veterans when he finishes this “not the worst contract.” 13-14 years of double digit wins. A career ERA below 4. It seemed to me that last year he did a decent 3rd best starter at best routine. If he can get his peripherals a little better and his ERA a little lower, the contract looks less ridiculous. Still bad, and probably limits the real impact players the Giants could get in FA, but less ridiculous than paying Schmidt or Driefort $5million+ per win.

co-dad w/AfDC of
Ishikawa, the Topps Rookie All Star Team's First baseman. Does he get a chance in 2010?

ROWAND should be on the list

Rowand’s contract is both high, and overvalued. Also he is superfluous. We just did not need him. All he is doing is sucking money out of the Neukom coffers.

by bradleybear on Dec 5, 2009 11:37 PM PST reply actions  

How can you possibly argue Rowand’s contract compares to someone like Gary Matthews Jr.? I hate Rowand’s contract, too, and I’m not a fan of Rowand the player, but he does give us some value, whereas Matthews doesn’t even play because he’s so bad…

by Missing Barry on Dec 7, 2009 7:46 AM PST up reply actions  

Vernon Wells’s contract is the worst contract in the history of contracts.
