July 12, 200421 yr Thank you Kenny for not letting Bartolo/Ponson give us a loss every 5 days let alone a huge chunk of money not given to Freddy!
July 12, 200421 yr Chan Ho Park would be #1 on my list, followed by Darren Dreifort and Mike Hampton tied as #2.
July 12, 200421 yr yeah i agree i think delgado shouldnt be that high up there. he has been pretty consistant throughout his career and had a huge season last year he's been hurt off and on this year too.
July 13, 200421 yr Wow, we got lucky huh... We all rode KW's back for not getting Ponson the off season. While he should have got Garcia instead before the season it's good that at least he got the right player, even if he took his time about it.
July 14, 200421 yr from ESPN.com Bartolo ranks as the third most overpaid player in the game, trailing only Mike Hampton and a quartet of Dodgers. Raise another Big Mac for Bart. 3. Bartolo Colon, Angels ($11,000,000) The highest-paid Angel (along with Vlad Guerrero) signed a fat four-year, $51 million contract in December. His 6-8 record and 6.38 ERA this year are entirely deserved; opponents have racked up an impressive .296 batting average against the Angels' "ace." It's possible Colon will set a new major-league record this season -- for most home runs surrendered by a pitcher. The current mark of 50 is held by Bert Blyleven, who accomplished the feat in 271+ innings in 1986. Colon has given up 27 taters in just 104.1 innings. Colon has been getting worse as the innings wear on his 5-11, 260-pound frame, something that Angels manager Mike Scioscia has failed to address. But ESPN's Dave Campbell, on a Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, has made his opinion clear: "It doesn't seem politically correct to tell somebody they're fat, but Bartolo Colon is fat, and so is Sidney Ponson. "They both have a lot of money, and they need to push themselves away from the dinner table. I mean, after all these excuses about mechanics and all this -- well, they have tried to fix their mechanics. Try pushing your butt away from the table."
