I agree. However, MLB teams with more money (i.e. Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Angels, Dodgers, Giants) can absorb a big contract being a complete bust. For example, Carl Pavano with the Yankees.
Mid-market or small market teams either cannot give out those types of contracts or become completely incapacitated if they do (as you stated - Wells).
In a salary cap league, contracts like that are punished and you don't have the rich teams jacking the overall price of all players because everyone has the same amount of money to spend.
