zwick99 continues to lack the basic ability to use logic.

Now,
with the benefit of hindsight, it was easy to see that it was a horrible contract. But NOT when the contract was signed. When the contract was signed, Howard was coming off a stretch of 3 years of 47-48-45 HRs and 136-146-141 RBIs. The downturn in performance began AFTER THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED.
Apparently, some people don't look at the important dates like when the contract was signed, not when the salaries became effective. For your benefit, zwick99 - I have bolded the stats for Ryan Howard BEFORE his contract was signed, and the stats for Ryan Howard AFTER his contract was signed. I did this because although it would be obvious to my 9-year old daughter that your statement is false, I think you might still struggle with seeing the flaw in your "facts"
Congratulations, zwick99 - with all the trolls on this site, there are lots of contenders for trolls who consistently mess up some basic factual logic, but your ranking just improved.
