Lists like these are dumb, b/c the present is much fresher in people's minds and it skews things. Like here...the top 10 worst deals of the past TWENTY years all occured in the past ten years...1998 is the farthest one back. I highly doubt there wasn't one deal from '88-'98 that would actually crack this list............
Just like the announcer in college basketball today who said that North Carolina might be the greatest team of the past 25 years. GMAFB....outright ridiculous to say at this point.....
My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.

Players didnt make the kind of coin 30 years ago and further back than they do today even if you adjust for inflation. Thats why they make such a big deal for these guys, instead of players back in the 70's and 80's.Originally Posted by KowboyKoop

I'm not even going past the first page.....Pierre...enh, I like Pierre, it's bad but the worst?
The deal breaker is Giambi. GIambi was all over the place, but over all he wasn't among the worst, and in fact I'm projecting him to do better then anyone they stick in DH this year. Whoever gets him for 16mill/2 is getting a good deal.
BOOM!

Maybe, but relative to the rest of the league, I'm sure you can find some pretty awful deals compared to what other teams were giving out. Point is...in all these "best/worst of the past 'x' years" lists...it's always just a bunch of stuff that just happened recently and they mostly forget about the past....

Thats true, it would be nice to see a top 10 list from each decade.

Seriously ?? Kevin Brown is number 3?? HE pitched 3 1/2 out of 5 great years in in LA ( before being traded) -- he shouldn't even be on the list.
Juan Pierre - ok maybe you can say he is overpaid some - but the Dodgers got excatly the player the signed -- his stats were almost identical
And Albert Bell? maybe you can clain is was bad based on the docotor should have know Belle would have that disorder -- but the 1 season he played before his freak injury he posted a measley 37 HR and 142 OPS+
Giambi ? sure he missed parts of two of the seven seasons (but you expect that when you sign a 31 year old to a seven year deal) but hs numbers we very good for the other five - even last year he still manged to 2nd on the team, in OPS+, Slugging and Homeruns.
This list is a total biased Joke --
Wilson Alverez, 5/35 , and managed to pitch 375 inning and go 17-26.
Richie Sexon ( who in respect for Mariner fans i wont quote his stats)
Julio Lugo - 'nuff said
and these three name came up without even looking.

Valid points there. Even Adrian Beltre should get some notice as well. I think the worse acquisition my team ever did was getting Ruben Sierra.
