Teixera from Texas to Atlanta.

Texas got Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus for him. All three were pivotal in our two World Series runs.

He still plays in the Czech league. But the Czech league is garbage these days.

He got a Cup with Boston but didn't contribute much. Got traded to Carolina. Was awful. Went to Montreal, was still awful. Got bought out.

Can we just put the Dansby Swanson/Shelby Miller trade in there on principle alone?

I can't stand when someone starts a thread with some ridiculous caveat and proceeds to invalidate future responses. Isn't "worst" and "non major" a contradiction here? If it's not a "big" signing then who cares? So some over the hill football player sucking after getting a vet minimum deal meets this criteria, but Alvin Harper is too major of a signing to discuss? It's like these threads are started with the intention of telling someone that their answer sucks.

Speaking of your Habs, Alexander Semin was a terrible signing. Another washed up player that Montreal thought they would magically fix.

Harper was in the prime of his career supposedly and a huge FA signing as the Cowboys had just come off a Super Bowl win. It was probably the biggest signing of that off season.

Just like the Larry Brown signing by the Raiders was a huge signing.

The Habs are so screwed right now. They have no depth in the system.

no worries, I do kind of agree with the guy above where I don't like qualifiers like this

Leonys Martin went from Texas to Seattle this off-season for Tom Wilhelmsen, James Jones and some other guy who Texas cut.

Leonys is having a career season. Wilhelmsen has like a 9 ERA.

When the Indians signed Jack Parkman. What a waste of money.

Does the Saints trading up to draft Antonio Pittman(?), count?
Didn't even make the team, and was beat out by undrafted Pierre Thomas.
Though, I guess you could say it didn't hurt us.

I caught an Aramis Ramirez HR ball I'd be willing to part with for cheap. Got his auto after with pics.
