It would be hard to convince me that the Mets' signing of Mo Vaughan a while back was not one of their biggest mistakes ever.

Vaughn will not play in 2004

Vaughn is scheduled to make $15 million this year, and the club has a $2 million buyout option for 2005 on the six-year, $80 million deal he signed with Anaheim prior to the 1999 season.

Nice.
