Worst Offseason Spenders

Blast the Mets for overspending, but at least they addressed some major holes on their team.

Money is no object if you're a successful baseball team in a city like New York

 

if you put out a competitive team, they will come, and you will make some cash

Why aren't Seattle and San Fran on this list? Why is Baltimore even on the list they didn't spend any money?!?

Worst poll ever?

Yes...

 

*comic book guy voice*

 

Worst. Poll. Ever.

Seattle

Yea seattle did overspend but a lineup of Ichiro, Boone, Beltre, Sexson, BUCKY, ibanez, winn is pretty scary

Baltimore.

 

How could anyone vote for the D-Backs? They built themselves a really nice ball club out of practically nothing at all and certainly did not overspend.

 

The Mets, while they overspent, they acquired the most sought after free agent so I definitely can't vote for them even though I despise them.

 

LA did a whole lot of nothing, they just ruined everything. Last year they were in the playoffs, this year they're no better than their AAA affiliate.

 

Phillies...... ehhh

Well Arizona did over spend, maybe its just how the market is, but they did it. However, they will be a lot better, so its a good thing. Are the Giants really going to get a lot better? Or the Yankees?

The Giants made their team out of old-timers with the 'win now or never' attitude but don't have a team that will compete seriously for a WS run.. I think they had a pretty bad offseason.

Well, LA gave JD Drew 5 years for some reason.

 

The Mets spent alot of money, but for a New York team they really didn't do that much. Plus they addressed holes and will be significantly better this year, and most importantly they didn't really do anything out of character for a big market club.

 

Arizona on the other hand, I don't know what's happening there. I mean, yeah they got better, and they didn't overpay anymore than the market dictated, but where is this money coming from? Don't they still owe boatloads of money to the 2001 WS team? They might be in serious financial trouble in the next few years.

Cubs!

I'm surprised that wasn't an option. With the deal they gave to Rusch, and the fact that they are sending $16.15 million to Baltimore for the Sosa deal.

 

I also nominate Detroit.

i have to say the Mets...

 

the reason,even though they got Beltran and Pedro i know this team will not make the Playoffs...

I dont understand the big deal behind the dodgers

 

 

Kent, JD Drew ... is one scary combo batting 3-4

 

they retained and added more pitching ... and they still have Gagne

 

call me crazy ... I guess Beltre WAS the whole team according to most here because I really dont see how the departure of Green could hurt the team
