The Yanks got 5 wins out of a 4 year, 40 mil investment in Carl Pavano.
8 million dollars per win. 8 mil.
Is there a bigger FA bust in the history of MLB?

I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.
He was a one year wonder to begin with, and I said it at the time. Now I definatley didn't see the injuries coming, but it was still a waste of money at the time.
In a strange sort of way, it eases the Eric Milton pain we feel, doesn't it???
Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it!

Is it wrong of me to get a perverse thrill when the Yankees get absolutely nothing out of a $40,000,000 investment?
I love it when the huge contracts they hand out go totally bust or get hurt. Jason Giambi, Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown, Carl Pavano. I love every one of those.
You would think they would get a clue eventually. Especially with pitchers. Giving that much money to a pitcher is just foolish. Pitchers get hurt way too frequently. I would imagine the bad contracts outnumber the successful huge contracts like A-Rod and Jeter. But they have so much cash to spend that it will never change until a commissioner has the balls to enforce a hard salary cap like the NBA or NFL.
Chan Ho Park comes to mind. Eric Milton is up there too.
