The Mets have pulled a shocker and signed Johan Santana. At 29, Santana is one of the best, if not the best in the game. But 7 years is a long time and $150million is a lot of dough. The Mets have to hope Johan stays healthier and more productive than Mo Vaughn and Bobby Bonilla did. Here's a look at some of the worst investments in the league last season:
