More than a decade ago, Bob Klapisch and John Harper wrote a book called "The Worst Team Money Can Buy," a chronicle of the 1992 New York Mets. That team had what was then the highest payroll in the history of major league baseball: $45 million. The Wilpons shelled out that record sum to players like Eddie Murray, Bret Saberhagen, Vince Coleman (pictured above), and Bobby Bonilla--stars, one and all. That team finished 72-90, in fifth place in the National League East.
This team looks like it has the potential to rival that 1992 squad as one of the most underachieveing teams of all time.
The two teams have another thing in common, besides poor performance.
Willie Randolph.
Willie played second base for the '92 Mets.
Weird, huh?
