Werth's contract might be bad, but compare it to the other $126 million dollar man BARRY ZITO...
And the article read...
Barry Zito and the Giants reached a preliminary agreement on the largest pitcher contract in baseball history, a $126 million, seven-year deal. A source familiar with Zito's contract told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick that the agreement includes an $18 million option for 2014 with a $7 million buyout that could increase the value to $137 million.
Considering what he's done since signing that contract, I have just one word. YIKES.
