Just how bad do B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla suck? Worst I have ever seen!

[CMIZ5290]

The situation with these 2 losers might be the biggest travesty in major sports history. Here we are again well into the year, and their stats suck even worse than last year's. The money the Braves are paying these idiots is absolutely mind boggling. Is it just me, or why in the hell isn't more being made of this??? Can anyone think of a worst example in Sports history than this? Keep in mind, we are talking about 2 players....

Upton is having a much better year that last year (even though that's not saying much). As for the biggest travesty in major sports history I think there are a few contracts that are worse than this (Ex: Zito, Lackey, Arod).

Even with how crappy these guys are at least they're playing.

The Yankees paid Pedro Feliciano 7.75 million dollars over two seasons and he never appeared in a game for them.

They also paid Damaso Marte 11.75 million dollars to pitch 30 innings for them.

And let's not forget good old Carl Pavano, who we paid 38 million dollars for 9 wins over 4 seasons.

That Feliciano deal was a heart breaker. Did he ever get healthy?

I just looked up the records of these guys and I'm really sick (maybe jealous is a better word) that teams fork over this much money for nothing. What did Feliciano and Marte ever do to warrant such good money? At least Pavano had some decent seasons...so, I could see how teams expected more from him (even though it eventually proved a big waste of money). But I look at Feliciano's record and I can't understand what they were expecting.

I honestly think that the Upton deal will go down as the worst in Baseball history. You compare it with Arod? Hell, he's still Arod. Upton was a .240 hitter when he got a deal comparable to a Superstar. Frank Wren should be really proud, he's the laughing stock of MLB.....

I don't view Arod being Arod as a positive thing. I wonder who is the worse player in the league in terms of WAR/$

Upton was nearly a 30-30 centerfielder when he got his deal. I wouldn't categorize him as only a 240 hitter when he signed.

Update... Uggla average .165, Upton .205.....What an absolue joke both of these players are....I have followed sports for over 30 years, this is the biggest joke I have ever seen, bar none......

[CMIZ5290]

Another thing that really pisses me off is their lack of caring. They make a stupid play and just have a face like who gives a s***. They strike out, and just walk back spitting tobacco juice.....What a freaking joke....Nice job Frank Wren, you are an idiot as well....

I have to disagree with the biggest bust argument. For me Jamarcus Russell still takes the cake.

No offense Packs, but this guy is an absolute joke. In the 2 years he has been a Brave, I ask you, what defining moment has he had? I would rather have Stevie Wonder hitting than him....

I agree with you. My only point was that when Upton got his deal he'd almost been a 30-30 centerfielder. At the time he looked like he was breaking out, especially with his power and he was young. They paid him way too much money no doubt about it. But no one could have seen this coming.
