Couldn't disagree more.
Hampton was one of the biggest busts in baseball, but not nearly as big of a bust as Pavano. In three seasons Pavano only played in 19 games, 111 innings, with 5 wins.
In his first year alone in Colorado, Hampton played in 32 games, ate up 203 innings and won 14. That alone is way better than 3 combined seasons of Pavano. We'll compare the first 3 year stretch after Hamptons and Pavanos contract seasons and you can't even argue it.
Pavano: 19 games, 111 innings, 5 wins
Hampton: 93 games, 571 innings, 35 wins
Hampton wasn't Cy Young or anything, but at least he gave the team innings and a chance to win with Rockies run support. When he came to ATL for three seasons after his first two on the contract in COL, he was definitily productive until he got injured.
Adrian Beltre is the greatest bust ever, simply because he has no excuse.
Everyone else on this list had injuries.
Beltre is never hurt and is the 3rd highest paid player in baseball and a complete bust.
He cant even play the field anymore for some reason.

Beltre doesn't need to give an excuse, which is why I don't think he's a bust. He is who he is.
Blame Seattle if you're a Mariners fan. His last two years in SEA have been consistant and sometimes better than the 6 previous he had until his single fluke year with LAD.
If you had looked at his career you had to expect this was how he would perform in Seattle.

My bad, the Pavano contract was actually a 4 year deal, but is expected to miss all of next season as well. Even worse, so you can stretch those #'s over 4 years, add in Hamptons 4th year on contract w/ ATL and it's a joke of an argument.
