I didn't expect him to crash this hard either and I am sure there will be some recovery. Never enough to justify the $.
The thing I don't get is if anyone is going to over pay a guy for past performance it needs to be the team he had that past performance with, even though that's not really smart. STL got a bargain for 11 years so to overpay a little is understandable. The contract STL offered covered that.
For the Angel's to way overpay for him is just plain stupid. If he never does anything significant as an Angel, and he may not, its super stupid.
