I have a better idea Deuce... name any long term contract with high dollar amount... that the player actually earned his money?

Verlander to me is a bust so far. Tired of athletes that have one incredible year... and never have numbers close to that ever again.

Verlander had a lot more than 1 good year,lol

Zito 7 year $126 million contract in '06. Career in Oakland, 3.49 ERA. Career in SF, 4.65 ERA, over a run higher and has been relegated to the bullpen by Bochy. Also, as he is a pitcher, he only affects the game every 5 days as a Starter.

the good news is Ryan Howard has only three more years left, the bad news is he's still owed 85m and isn't going to useful in any way,

I was thinking this guy

But Poohols is pretty bad though. He's getting $16 million this year, but AT LEAST $23 MILLION until 2021, where he will receive $30 million. Fukk's already getting old and it's going to be hard to live up to those expectations as father time catches up to him, if it hasn't already.
