So Bay got a 4 year 66 million dollar contract from the Mets in 2010. Based on his stats, that equates to:

$2.54 million per HR
$532,258 per RBI
$285,714 per hit
$229,167 per game

Stolen from another forum.

This is absolutely insane.

Jeff has such a keen eye for baseball talent! He really should be running the team! Oh, wait, he is running the team!

Bay will sign with Baltimore and hit 25 home runs for them next year. Book it.

Who cares.

is this better than Ollie's contract??

36M for 2 wins??

18M per win??

I can't decide which one was worse... Good job Jeff W.

Pedro Martinez - $53M / 32 wins = $1.7M per win.

Perhaps not as big a bust as Bay, but still another example of a huge Mets contract gone bad. There's more than a few out there, if anyone else would like to add to the list.
