how Corey P. Centerfield’s 2008 doesn’t make this list, don’t worry, he’s already on the Cubs list.

That’s right RRs, our favorite team signed one of the 3 worst players in the entire 100+ year history of the Cubs (who haven’t won anything in 100 years), and they’re starting him in centerfield every day.

114 times on base and a BA of .194 He managed to last 7 years in the majors.

On the one hand, his 46 OPS+ blows away anyone else mentioned here (Tolan’s next best at 57). His SB% this year isn’t any better than Tolan, either (and only marginally better than Householder). On the other, he is much more valuable defensively, and (depending on what happens) may not get as many PAs as any of these guys, and has time to raise his numbers at least a bit.

Really, though, he should at least be on the list.

so far for The Blemish. that’s right down there with Tolan’s and Householder’s numbers, but he mostly likely wont get the same ABs (though he’ll probably get close). Patterson definitely should be on this list, especially because, as MM reminds us, he led off for 30 games.

oh, and Milton was awful. just awful.

first

….6.54 ERA, 63 ERA+, and opposing batters had an .852 OPS. Interesting to see how he turned himself around as a starter this year in Chicago.

Naturally, there is Corey Patterson, as mentioned here, who is probably the worst position player with this much playing time I’ve seen in Cincy since Todd Benzinger.

I remember Paul Householder, though. One of the biggest busts of a prospect I’ve ever seen. Great fielder, but a right handed hitter that insisted on switch hitting (killing his career). He did look like George Brett in the face, and was a fellow native of my hometown of Columbus.
