The Best of the Worst...

[Bergy92]

Okay, here we go - the best of the worst players in baseball. And go figure, we have a representative...bet you can't guess...

that's right - Mr Eyre.

 

RP Scott Eyre, Cubs (6.60 ERA, 21 BB in 30 IP)

At 10-15, the Cubs own one of the worst records in one-run games of any team in baseball. Part of that is simply bad luck. But the bullpen has done its share of damage too, with Eyre being the chief culprit. Lou Piniella deserves credit for placing higher-leverage innings in the hands of Bobby Howry, Carlos Marmol and Ryan Dempster (when he's healthy). If Eyre returns to the 2.63 ERA form he showed in 2005, the Cubs can start trusting him in close games again. If not, they're always looking for more beer jockeys in the bleachers at Wrigley.

Nice to see ol' C-Pat on the list as well.

Lugo must be having a really bad year to beat out Izturis.

SS Julio Lugo, Red Sox (.197/.270/.298)

Yeah it always fun to cheer against good guys. Especially when they aren't on your team.

Gotta love those big contracts that blow up in the team's face.

How legitimate can this list really be without this player:

G AB R H 2B3B HR RBI SB BA OBP SLG

69 215 24 50 14 1 2 20 2 .233 .294 .335

You mean like making fun of how bad Neifi is for the Tigers?

 

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

I'm guessing he doesn't because of this:

a player who's having a bad year and getting tons of playing time, at the expense of obvious better options, is a near-lock

 

your player isn't getting very much PT right now

I'm surprised Jock wasn't in there.

Yea but (and trying to argue within their criteria) he is making more than at least one of the three other OF'ers and at 215 ABs he's not too far behind the 250-270 range of the others. And the other teams don't have as many better options as this team. And he's been promised more upcoming ABs.

BTW, what happened to all those pictures of girls in your avatar and sig??? I miss those.

not saying he doesn't belong, just trying to provide an explanation
