John Baker

[davell]

Currently at .165/.230/.187. Has thrown out 2 of 30 trying to steal. In complete seriousness, is he the worst Cub player ever?

[Sammy Sofa]

Nope.

[RynoRules]

Not sure if he's the worst Cub ever, but he probably is the worst player in baseball.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Koyie Hill is the worst Cub ever, no contest. John Baker would have to stay on the team another 3 or 4 years and continue to play the same way to reach that level.

Sup?

In 2001 Hundley went .187/.268/.372/.642

My least favorite Cub ever. His [expletive] attitude makes him worse.

[NOLA]

Also Candy Maldonado, considering he was a LF and brought in for his bat.

70 games with the Cubs:

.186/.260/.286/.545

3 HR

15 RBI

Neifi? Jose Macias? I assume everyone blocked the Dusty years out of memory.

 

Also I was at the Lehigh Valley IronPigs game today (Phillies AAA team) and was shocked that Koyie Hill was on the roster. Why does anyone want him?

I'm sure he's more coach than player at this point.

Interestingly, looking back, modern metrics didn't hate Neifi that much. They liked his defense quite a bit.

[davell]

Neifi threw up a -2.9 WAR one year, but it wasn't as a Cub. Baker is already at -1.0 in 99 PA. He could legitimately be a -5 WAR guy, if he played everyday.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Koyie Hill was -2.8 fWAR in a career 834 PA as a Cub. Let me know if you can find anyone that can beat that.

Baker, at his current rate, TRIPLES that.

[sneakypower]

John Baker has 19 TB in 101 PA

George Kottaras has 20 TB in 19 PA

I think Plaid was going for longevity. I laughter so freaking hard when it was reviled he nearly lopped his fingers off during the offseason as a reason why he could hold a bat. I think he played another entire year after that too.

 

Baker still has a positive WAR for his career.

Yeah, I know Baker is technically on pace for some crazy number, but I'm genuinely interested if anyone's entire Cubs career is worse than Koyie Hill's.

Eddie Miksis is the worst according to fWAR (-2.8) and having at least 1000+ PAs with the Cubs (2515 PAs). For comparsion, Hill was -1.3 in 834 PAs. If you want the worst regardless of PAs, Jerry Kindall was -3.4 in 849 PAs.

 

If you ask me, even though it was just 1 year, I would vote for Aaron Miles.

The guy who only played less than 2 seasons with the Cubs and had a 2.5 WAR (about 1.3 fWAR) in that time?

Kindall costing us a win every 249 PA is pretty bad.

Jacque Jones' 50 hop throws coming from RF will always hold a special irrational hatred from me.
