LA Angels: Ranking the Five Worst Contracts of the Last Decade

Now, we rank the LA Angels worst financial decisions since 2010. This is not a list I will enjoy writing, but hey, someone has to do it.

In 2012, the Angels were desperate for starting pitching alongside Jered Weaver and CJ Wilson (more on him later), and brought in Joe Blanton on a two-year, $15 million deal. While that AAV is not awful, Blanton did nothing but hurt the Halos in 2013 before being cut without pitching a game in 2014. He posted a 6.04 ERA and piled up 14 losses, having career-worst numbers across the board.
