Walker is a good one.
I don't know if you mean Carlos Beltran or Adrian Beltre, but neither has really failed to perform to his contract size. At least to date. Beltran's injury could change that, but long term deals kind of have to be judged differently on the back end, as they are signed with a certain expectation of risk of injury/decline to get the excess value on the front end.
