Biggest waste of $ in the history of baseball is . .

I don't know ...

It could easily be said that Kevin Brown is responsible for Petco Park. If he doesn't come here in '98, the Padres dont win the pennant, and we don't get a new ballpark.


And the BIGGEST waste of money is easily Darren Driefort. The Dodgers have been paying him 11 million a year for the last three years.

At least Mike Hampton pitched.

Another one that is pretty bad is Darren Dreifort. Five years, $55 million.

I agree. Worst deal ever. Thery're still paying his ass.

I figured it was another thread complaining about the Yankees just from reading the title. Tonight isnt looking any better...

Baseball players getting paid 10 times more then firemen and cops, its rediculious, the play a childrens game and travel and eat for free, and they bitch and moan and strike about 10 million instead of 12 million, its just ridiculious

Contreras. Yankees saved my Bosox 32 million

yup, and then they traded him for Esteban Loazia, which was a huge help

Has Albert Belle's "retirement" paycheck been mentioned yet?

The Tigers paid Damian Easley $13 million in the final year of his contract. The best part was the Tigers paid him to play for the D-Rays that entire season. A contract that screwed two team.
