Angels: Ranking the 10 worst contracts in the American League West right now

9) Worst contracts in the AL West: Tyler Anderson of the Los Angeles Angels

The Angels brought Tyler Anderson in this past offseason to try and add a veteran innings eater to a young and solid rotation. The young pitchers have turned out to regress, while Anderson has been nothing short of a disaster.

Coming off of a career year with the Dodgers last season, Anderson has a 5.35 ERA in 23 appearances (21 starts). His walk rate has ballooned from an elite 4.8% last season to 9.9% this season. For a pitcher who pitches to contact, that's very bad.

Among pitchers with at least 110 innings pitched, Anderson has the seventh-highest ERA in the majors. He went from tenth lowest last season to seventh highest. Just unfathomable. Nobody expected him to be an all-star again, but he was brought in to be a solid mid-rotation arm. He hasn't pitched like a guy who belongs in a rotation.

His contract is still affordable if he can pitch like the guy he was brought in to be next season, but the 33-year-old is making $13 million next season and the year after. If he's this bad again, the contract will remain a disaster.
