Worst Free Agent Pitcher Signing In History: Barry Zito or Mike Hampton?
Author: some guy28 Apr
The question above is a good one. On this hand, you have Barry Zito; a season into a seven year, $126 million contract, Zito has established himself as one of baseball’s bottom of the barrel starting pitchers. On the other, you’ve got Mike Hampton; at the tail end of receiving millions upon millions of dollars for 100+ missed starts over the past seven seasons. ESPN analyst Jayson Stark has a nice contrast and comparison here.

I’ll say Hampton for 1 reason: Brian Sabean can afford to fail with Zito.
It’s an ABSURD amount of money, but the Hampton contract all but hamstrung the Rockies (coupled with the Denny Neagle Experience). The Giants still have money coming from somewhere to pay for this nonsense, and then sign Aaron Rowand.
