Josh Hamilton: Worst MLB FA contract ever?

[lucas80]

Looking like it. Self-reported he used coke. He has to take drug tests three times a week, so it's safe to guess he self-reported ahead of testing positive. Used alcohol as well.
Hamilton is just about to Steve Howe territory for rehab stints.

 

[LuteHawk]

From a financial point, A-Rod and the Yankees
have the worst contract relationship.

I think the mets still owe bobby Bonilla money.

It worked out well for Hamiltons coke dealer

Alleged 35 year old Albert Pujols may not be a coke head, but there is the chance that he could be 40...Hamilton is only signed through 2017. I don't care how rich the Angels are, AP's contract looked ugly before the ink was dry.

2012: $12 million; 2013: $16 million
2014: $23 million; 2015: $24 million
2016: $25 million; 2017: $26 million
2018: $27 million; 2019: $28 million
2020: $29 million; 2021: $30 million

At the time(1990) FA reliever Mark Davis signed a 4 year 13 million dollar deal with the Royals. That was 4x his previous salary. In 1989 he had 44 saves and was considered a "top" reliever. In his stint with the Royals, he ended up with a 9-13 record with 7 saves. His ERA's in KC were: 5.11,4.45, and 7.18. He lost the reliever role to Jeff Montgomery, a few months into his first year with KC.

Moreno has given out the worst collection of FA contracts ever since he took over the Angels. He is making the Yankees look prudent and thoughtful in their signings.

Baseball's first 100 million dollar man if I remember correctly... Thought he had a couple of decent years for the Dodgers?

Baseball's first 100 million dollar man if I remember correctly... Thought he had a couple of decent years for the Dodgers?

he did, the fact someone would even post him shows very little knowledge about the history of the game. Here are his era's in the first three years of the deal 3, 2.58, 2.65 then the injuries started. But even then he came back to have a 2.39 in 2003. There are about a thousands worse contracts from Richie Sexton to Denny Neagle.

As a Cardinals fan, I was hoping that Pujols would spend his entire career in St Louis. But, when the numbers of the Angels offer came out, I was fine with him walking away. No way could they handcuff the team by paying anywhere close to those numbers. The only thing I really didn't like about it was that Pujols apparently had to agree to go in as an Angel if/when he goes into the Hall of fame.

Which is false. It's no longer the player's choice.

Easy chief. He averaged 9 wins a season for those 7 years/100 mil.

Awesome. Now I am even happier about him going to the Angels.

Baseball's first 100 million dollar man if I remember correctly... Thought he had a couple of decent years for the Dodgers?

he did, the fact someone would even post him shows very little knowledge about the history of the game. Here are his era's in the first three years of the deal 3, 2.58, 2.65 then the injuries started. But even then he came back to have a 2.39 in 2003. There are about a thousands worse contracts from Richie Sexton to Denny Neagle.

Easy chief. He averaged 9 wins a season for those 7 years/100 mil.

He was worth about $4.1 mil per WAR during that contract. That was about going rate at the time. His contract was about average for his value and not even close to bad.

Although it was an extension and not FA, Ryan Howard's is a disaster. His last 5 seasons he's made $104 mil and put up 1 WAR. For comparison, AROD has made $155 mil the last five years and been worth almost 15 WAR, an average of about $10 mil per WAR. So ARod has been worth 10x as much as Howard.
