    The Diamondbacks' worst contracts: Introduction and honorable mentions

    Luis Gonzalez extension, March 2003, $30 million/three years Gonzo was already under contract for 2003, the final year of a very team-friendly contract that had seen him be worth almost 25 bWAR while earning only $18.55 million. Perhaps pledging $30m for the player’s age 36-38 seasons was the Diamondbacks’ way of making up for that. It wasn’t a complete disaster, with a 109 OPS+ overall, and still a decent 99 in the final year of the contract.

He only recently picked up that pitch, learning how to throw it from former Diamondback Matt Peacock this spring. Jameson's best secondary pitch is a slider, which tunnels well off both of his fastballs.

Holton was a two-way player at Lincoln High and FSU, although at college it was obvious that his future was on the mound.
