1995 Norm Charlton.

No way!  I almost always have him in my bullpen when possible!

I've never had much luck with Ken Griffey Jr.

John Kruk - looks like an OBP monster...but he's just a cookie eating monster.

Willie Mays has never hit to his stats.  He's money in the field though.  A very expensive defensive specialist.

95 Maddux. At least lately on two OL teams.  Approaching a 4.00 ERA and a losing record at pitcher's parks. Dumped one of them and trying to dump the other.

I could pretty much just say pitching in general, but more specifically there are a few relievers who I just don't understand why they routinely blow.  Hong-Chih Kuo is pretty awful for me, and 2003 Eric Gagne isn't even worthwhile at high caps for me.  I get way better performance out of cheaper options like 2008 Rivera and various Eck seasons.

A-Rod is a pretty serious underperformer too.

George Brett has been pretty useless. And although I can' complain about Stan Musial's numbers, you never get the sense that he ignites an offense. 

Lance Parrish does not hit much. Looks good on paper. Instead I find that a couple versions of Manny Sanguillen (one of my favorite players on a non-NY team while growing up) - 1977 and I have to look up the other one, hits surprisingly well along with the A+ arm.

Barry Bonds almost always underperforms (big time), his salary.
