Pressure dialed even higher on Lincecum

When you get a paycheck like Lincecum's, you should have pressure.

Lay off the weed, Tiny Tim.

We know he has the Talent, he's got to get himself back together!

"UNDER PRESSURE"

The Zito contract has to be the worst ever given to a player.

The paper thinks the Giants are out of it instead they are right in the middle of the wild card race. They just need to keep paying Zito and forget he is on the team.

If they promised Timmy a Chips Ahoy for every strikeout, he'd pitch a perfect game.

I think they are commonly to referred as "Scooby Snacks"

Mike Hampton...

And why are they hating on Zito? They still having delusions about him being what he was in Oakland?

Zito and Hampton are bad bu Vernon Wells' contract takes the cake

From December 2006 - Center fielder Vernon Wells agreed Friday night to a seven-year, $126 million contract extension with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The commissioner's office and players union approved the deal Saturday, and the Blue Jays announced the extension Monday.

Wells' pact, the sixth-largest in baseball history, would give him a $25.5 million signing bonus, no-trade clause and guarantee him the right to opt out of his contract after four years. In addition, he could earn bonuses of $250,000 for MVP, $200,000 for World Series MVP, $150,000 for league championship series MVP and $100,000 for receiving the most votes in his league in All-Star game balloting.

Right now the Carl Crawford contract looks much worse. Of course, he could come back and change that.

The Jayson Werth contract is looking very bad too. Jury still out, but the guy is already 33 and has 5 more years at $18M/yr after this one.

Barry Zito sucks, Mike Hampton sucks, Vernon Wells sucks, Queen and Bowie are OK and Megadeth rules ;]

Where are my Cubbie threads??? Aren't there any peeps out there inquiring as to what the brilliant, I say brilliant mind, of Theo Einstein is up to???

Why is Ryne Sandberg not managing the Chicago Cubs???


I am officially hijacking this thread ... humor me.

If you want to talk Cubs and bad contracts, there are the Soriano and Zambrano contracts.

See the Kevin Brown contract, the Mike Hampton contract, the Carl Crawford contract, the Jayson Werth contract. In the NBA, see the Gilbert Arenas contract. Or the Rashard Lewis contract.
The Zito contract is bad, very bad in fact. But let's clear. There are many many bad contracts given to players who immediately after become very unproductive. At best, Zito has lots of "competition" for the award of worst contract ever given to a player. Just my opinion. If you disagree or want to mention other players with terrible contracts, please mention them.
