It's always hard to pick between those two below.

Dickerson was a really good pitcher that got injured as soon as he donned the jersey during the introductory press conference. That was a 3-yr, $9.6M contract. Now would be the best time to notify you that my finances are modified and at this point in time a $3M salary for a player was reserved to maybe the top 40, top 50 in the league.

Now, DeWeese got a 7-yr, $23.1M contract. For that star salary he delivered one good season (keeping in mind that he was a casual fielder at best), one eh season, and after that he was barely league average. Did I mention he was also a prolific clubhouse cancer and twice voted Worst Human Alive in his Raccoons tenure? Some silly team traded for him in exchange for a defensive-minded centerfielder after that, although even then we had to sweeten the deal with two young players for them.

2017-19 were also years in which the Raccoons had solid teams and were consistently bounced in the first round of the playoffs. Oh, I don't know, maybe it's because that BUM hitting .224 for winner's money??
