Dunn and Danks at 12 and 11 respectively. Can't really argue with that.

Honestly, it's really awesome to see Sale make the list that high, as well as MLBN lists and otherwise. God, I hope he turns out well.
I need a new jersey t-shirt to replace my Beckham one and I want to go with Sale, but I'm worried it's still too early. |

Just hoping this Danks injury is a one year thing and nothing nagging for the future.
Sucks for a team who rarely pays long term money to pitchers roll the dice and fail so far with it. But again, only 1 year. |

Also, if not for a comeback season last year, Rios would have made that list too.

They put Mark Buehrle on the "honorable mentions" list. Until I see some kind of decline, he shouldn't be there.

This isn't just "15 Worst Players in Baseball," it's "15 Worst Ratios of Player Value to Amount of Money Owed." Albert Pujols is still one of the best hitters in the game, but the fact that he's owed approximately $300 million until he's in his 40s... Woof. |

Fact: Older players get the biggest contracts. Fact: Older players get older. Fact: Older players get injured more often.
Conclusion: Big contracts for older players who get injured more often are considered bad contracts. Got it. Now just don't let the Yankees, Dodgers or Angels see this. |

Danks will be fine, just probably not this year. I'm not worried about that contract...yet.

What's funny is that baseball is the only sport of the big 4 where even the worst contracts can still get moved. If guys like Vernon Wells, Carl Crawford, and Alex Rios can all get moved with their boat anchor contracts, anyone can.

That's because baseball has no salary cap, and NFL contracts aren't guaranteed.

Also MLB owners are not hurting and can afford the salt and peppering it may take to take on a bad contract, to give your team a chance to win. Yea, the NFL owners could do the same, but they dont have to.

It's absolutely ridiculous to put the Danks contract on that list. It hasn't even come close to playing out. Stupid. Might as well put Peavy's new contract on there too.

Roy Halladay 63.6 war, age 36...He's a lock for hof. Tim Hudson 51.1 war, age 37...age is catching up to him. CC Sabathia 51.0 war age 32....He's probably going to make the hof. Mark Buerhle 48.9 war age 34 Johan Santana 48.6 war age 34.....I think Buerhle will be better in the next 3-4 years. Roy Oswalt 48.5 war age 35....I can't see him ever being very good again. |
