I have thought about this since they signed Carlos Lee, why did they sign Carlos Lee to this outrageous contract when the year before they turned down a far superior all around player in Beltran who essentially got the same contract? Makes no sense to me.

Who knows. Maybe they cleared Clemens and Bagwell's contracts off of the books, and used that money to sign Lee. Or, maybe after making the World Series, they decided they could win the whole ball of wax bay adding a slugger.
But I suspect you are right, and Beltran will prove more valuable than Lee.

Don't forget, they don't have to deal with Andy Pettite's salary anymore either.
