On this date in Giants history — Dec. 14

The Price of Victory?
Over $15 Million... if you do Schmidt math. $47-Million contract. Three Years. Three Wins. And he's out of here. DENVER -- Jason Schmidt's time as a Dodger, and probably as a player, effectively ran out Thursday when he was shifted from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day list to make room on the 40-man roster for Thursday's starting pitcher, Vicente Padilla....

Game 103 Thread: July 31 @ Braves, 4:30p
Jason Schmidt (1-1, 7.88) vs. Tommy Hanson (5-1, 2.95).
COMMENTS: Talk about a study in contrasts. Today the Dodgers start a once overpowering pitcher ending his career as a overpaid paperweight, and the Braves start a 22-year-old hotshot rookie with a plus-fastball and his entire career ahead of him. Do you like where this is going? I do not.

Game 98 Thread: July 24 vs. Marlins, 1p
Jason Schmidt (1-0, 5.40) vs. Chris Volstad (7-9, 4.34).
COMMENTS: Jason Schmidt, Take 2. If I had any idea what Schmidt will bring to the table today, I'd be playing the ponies instead of watching the Dodgers. As it is, he showed enough moxie to get through five innings in his last outing. Building on that would be a great next step for him. Otherwise we'll have to...

Post-Game 93 Thread: Schmidt Returns For Win #2
DODGERS 7, REDS 5
Congratulations to Jason Schmidt for his first win in over a year, which wasn't easy. After giving up three earned runs in a 36-pitch first inning, Jason battled back to allow only one more hit over the next four innings, gutting out a 91-pitch, five inning performance with not a lot of velocity (topping at around 85 mph), but keeping the Reds off-balance...

The Thieving Bastards: Baseball’s All-Time Worst Contract Team
There have been a lot of bad contracts handed out in Major League Baseball history.
While people point the finger at recent ridiculous deals - cough Jason Schmidt cough - the truth is that owners have been throwing stupid money at suspect players since, well, since they started having stupid money to throw at suspect players.
But [...]
