| so ashamed he's from my state, yankee fans here used to sweat his nuts until no end. Brad Ausmus and Jeff Bagwell though, a much better story there. |

almost as worse as Victor Zambrano for Scott Kazmir
Scott Edward Kazmir (born January 24, 1984 in Houston, Texas) is a left-handed starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He had verbally committed to the University of Texas, but was drafted in 2002 by the New York Mets. While playing for the double-A Binghamton Mets, he was infamously traded to the Devil Rays on July 30, 2004 for Victor Zambrano and Bartolomé Fortunato. He made his major-league debut on August 23, 2004, pitching five shutout innings against the Seattle Mariners. Scott's nickname is "Kid K".
As was the case two years before with Jeremy Bonderman of the Detroit Tigers, Kazmir was traded to a losing team with a need to quickly develop young pitching. He started 2004 with the Single-A St. Lucie Mets, and after his trade to the Devil Rays, he received only a few starts at Double-A Montgomery. However, he was essentially expected to anchor a young Devil Rays pitching staff from the time he arrived in Tampa Bay. He had a 2-3 record and an ERA of 5.67 in 8 appearances (7 starts) in 2004, but he was clearly making strides in his development; he struck out 11.07 batters per nine innings. In 2004, he was the top pitching prospect for the New York Mets, but was traded for the Devil Rays' top veteran Victor Zambrano. This trade was, and still is, widely lampooned by the New York media and fan base given Kazmir's enormous potential. |

Keep deflecting.
A trade and a free agent signing are 2 different things.
Have you seen the standings lately?
Your just pissed that Carl Pavano and the Yankees now go down as THE WORST free agent signing in the HISTORY of baseball. |

Newsday.com worst free agent signing in the history of baseball:
5. LHP Mike Hampton, eight-year, $121-million contract with Colorado Rockies, Dec. 9, 2000.
Mr. Denver School System himself, the lefthander ditched the Mets for the huge bucks and claimed he did it to enrich his children. He was so miserable pitching at Coors Field that the Rockies felt compelled to trade him to the Braves after just two years, and he is now in the process of sitting out his second straight full season with elbow problems.
4. LHP Denny Neagle, five-year, $55-million contract with Colorado Rockies, Dec. 4, 2000.
Bad, bad month for the Rockies, who rewarded Neagle for an uninspiring Yankees half-season with this outrageous deal. Neagle made just seven starts in 2003, and those were his last in the major leagues, as his career ended with an unseemly arrest in the Denver area.
3. RHP Chan Ho Park, five-year, $65-million contract with Texas Rangers, Dec. 23, 2001.
The ace of the Dodgers, Park never won more than nine games and never pitched more than 1452/3 innings in a season for the Rangers, who traded him to the Padres in the middle of the 2005 season.
2. Darren Dreifort, five-year, $55-million contract with Los Angeles Dodgers, Dec. 11, 2000.
The Dodgers put a great deal of faith in a pitcher who never had reached the 200-inning mark. That backfired when Dreifort never reached the 100-inning milestone as a very rich man, missing the entire 2002 and 2005 seasons. He served as an effective reliever for part of 2004, before going down with yet another injury.
1. Carl Pavano, four-year, $39.95-million contract with Yankees, Dec. 22, 2004.
He quickly alienated his teammates, his superiors, his agent, his fiancée, the media and fans. He fooled the Yankees into signing him, then fooled them into believing he could work as a regular starter in 2007. He missed all of 2006, pitched just twice this year and will almost certainly miss all of next year. Otherwise, he turned out to be a great acquisition. |
