Worst Contract in FGM history (thus far)

[Daniel]

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

I don't agree. Worst contracts are those that overpay the most over actual value.

If you pay 20m per year for a guy who produces at 5m per year level it is a worse contract than if you pay 4m per year for a guy who never plays.

Real life examples from the specialist in bad contracts  - my beloved Dodgers - applied to our fantasy league.

38m in 2 years. Andruw Jones - worse contract per year in the history of baseball
 vs
55m in 5 years for Darren Dreifort - 55m for less than a season pitched.

In our league the Andruw Jones contract is much worse even though he actually produced some petty points during those years compared to the goose egg on Dreifort because of his injury. First reason is cap room. You are using up more cap in Andruw Jones than in Dreifort. If you use the remaining 8m per year in giving an Ok contract to another OF you will produce more than what Jones brings to the table. Number 2 reason is flexibility. If you drop Dreifort you are on the hook for much less money than is the case for Andruw Jones.

For these two reasons is that I think Peralta may end up being the worst contract in the history of the league if he does not produce like last year and regresses to his usual numbers.

As of now, and it's not finalized yet, but:

CI Lyle Overbay, 500k (2012)

I can't even look at that contract...it's almost as bad as what was residing in the Arc

[Dan Wood]

Lind at 15.5 mil for one year...I don't think he cracked a 1,000 points in 2010

Some RL contracts are awful..

Santana
Soriano

we all those,  I dont think anyones is as bad as those. No coincidence that the 2 GM's who signed them no longer have a job

[Dan Wood]

Hendry just got a job with the Yanks... Don't forget Wells

[Daniel]

Mike Hampton the worst ever in RL lol

[Corey]

Didnt Javy Lopez get a big deal from Baltimore, only to do absolutely nothing!

[Dan Wood]

Bobby Bo still getting money from the Mets...he makes more than Ike Davis
