12. Jose Contreras
Year: 2002
Contract: 4 years, $32 million
Stats with the Yankees: 15-7, 4.64 ERA, 27 starts, 36 games, 166 2/3 IP
Why it was horrible: Contreras simply wasn’t what the Yankees thought he was, struggling big-time to control his walks. Didn’t help that spent two months on the DL in his first season in pinstripes. When the Yankees finally traded him to the White Sox, they got back Esteban Loaiza, who was terrible, too, going 1-2 with a 8.50 ERA in 10 games.
11. Roger Clemens
Year: 2007
Contract: 1 year, $18.7 million
Stats with the Yankees: 2007: 6-6, 4.18 ERA, 17 starts, 18 games, 99 IP
Why it was terrible: Clemens made about $1 million a start in 2007. No Yankees fan who’s old enough to remember can forget when Clemens showed up in owner George Steinbrenner’s private box at Yankee Stadium in May of that year. But he was pretty bad, particularly for the money. He wouldn’t play in the majors again after that.
