Worst Contract in FGM history (thus far)
« on: January 29, 2012, 01:45:54 PM »
Just to break the monotony around here, I figured I would try an exercise. As most of us are heading into year 3 with the league, it is time to look back and cast your vote as to the worst contract given out by a GM in this league. This does not count contracts that were already in existence when the league came to be. Arod, Vernon Wells, Johan Santana do not count...

My vote is for Ryan Garko - signed by the Cubs during the 2010 free agency period to a 15 mil - 3 year contact (5 mil a year) - for their money the Cubs got 38 PAs

Whatever the value of the Andrew Jones' contract is, I am on the hook for 3M for 4 years.

Worst I ever gave was definitely DeWitt. Still managed to unload him relatively cheap. The Vazquez contract may end up being worse than DeWitt's if he retires though, even if he was useful for a year...

Still too early on Parmelee to tell and if his numbers late last season hold up he will be more than worth it. Personally I think the worst ever will be the Peralta contract... but also too early to tell. Seriously doubt he will be worth half the money offered to him though.

We are also forgetting Edwin Jackson and Ricky Nolasco...Jonathan Broxton was re-signed at 12 mil, so that counts...

Melvin Mora was 18 mil for 3 years last off-season, signed by the for O's GM.

Jon Garland - 4 years @ 7 mil

Ben Sheets - 3 years @ 5 mil

Rich Harden - 4 years @ 7 mil

Jason Kubel - 3 years @ 14.5 mil

Kelly Shoppach - whatever I was paying him

Kendrys Morales (Thus far) - 11 mil per

Worst contracts are for players that get payed alot and don't produce sometimes a guy will get higher payday because team has the money to spend as long a player produces it can't be a bad contract as per nolasco / Jackson and Peralta as long as doesn't get injured it isn't bad contract

Garko and Shoppach were bad... DeWitt was a lot to throw out there.  Nick Johnson = ouch

What makes these impressive is how the GMs were able to dump some of these

  • Jwalkerjr88: It was dallas. I think he missed the playoffs that year. Then used the draft picks on the 2021 class. Every pick was the 32nd pick (dont remembee what the other 1st became)
    Yesterday at 10:18:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Idk if anyone remembers the 2021 class but it was weak on offense outside or the top 10-15. I dont regret the deal just learned and move on. As long as you have assets, you can mold your build how you want. Picks are usually the most valuable asset because most gms want in on a draft.
