Lots of money for unproven/mediocre talent

What's the deal with the fat contracts given to practically every baseball free agent of late? We've seen J.D. Drew, Julio Lugo, and Gil Meche (Gil Meche!), among others, garner fat contracts, the Red Sox pay $51 million just to talk to a Japanese pitcher, and Ted Lilly earn his contract... on the operating table! I guess the only requirement to get a good check is to throw the ball over the plate! Imagine the monopoly Roger Clemens could command for a half season of work? The question I wonder is this: who got the most bang for their buck? Any winners here?
