Didn't he have a decent season in 2004, up until he punched the clubhouse wall and broke his hand?

Didnt Kevin Brown suck every year that wasnt a contract year? I am not sure about this, but it seemed like he was only good the last year of every contract he signed.

He had 6 straight years in the late 90s/early 2000's in which his ERA was 3 or below, pretty much the definition of non-suckage.

He was good, just the year he missed with the dodgers, but he wasnt that bad. Just looked at his stats.

How about Jason Kendall? no homers as an A.

The Athletics pay half of his salary or something, so no.

It's either Chan Ho Park, Darren Dreifort, or Bobby Higginson. Dreifort is probably the worst considering he didn't even play.

his starting even though he knew his back was hurt against the red sox alcs game 7 is enough to make his contract not worth a single dime we paid

First guys I thought of. Neagle was especially bad after signing that contract. Not sure if it was 10M, but definitely in the ballpark.

It's not his fault that he got thrown out to the wolves. If he really was hurt that badly, that goes entirely on Joe Torre. (cf. Pedro in the 8th inning of Game 7 in 2003)

Then again, Torre didn't have too many other options -- it's not as if Javy Vazquez was any better. Maybe the only other option was Esteban Loaiza (and this is a big stretch, since he'd pitched 2 or 3 innings of relief in Game 5).

I was going to post Hampton, but he looks like Cy Young compared to Chan Ho. Plus he's had injury problems over the past few years and pitched in Colorado which ruined him.
