re: hitting - i am SHOCKED that jose macias or neifi perez didn't make the list. looked up neifi on BR and out of all the teams he played for, he accumulated the most bwar with the cubs (4.0)! 

re: pitching - i've been alive for 7 of them and remember 6 of those 7. 

How bad was Moreland on defense in 1986 that he had an OPS over .700 and was still negative?

Honestly thought Dunston might be on the list. I was looking at his numbers a while back and was surprised at some of the seasons he had. He was pretty terrible.

Loved the dude growing up but the hard truth about Shawon Dunston: he was not a very good player. 300 mph throws to Sandberg to start double plays and the Shawon-O-Meter clouded our judgments.

Didn't realize how bad he was either. PCA eclipsed his career WAR like 2 months ago.

Some idiot on social media was trying to say PCA "wasn't clutch" and that he built his stats in garbage time, so I did 2 minutes of research and found:

PCA w/ RISP: .351/.438/.664

PCA w/men on base: .324/.430/.634

PCA w/ 2 outs and RISP: .333/.449/.649

PCA in "Late and Close" situations: .389/.477/.708

People use the horsefeathers thing that he hits so many solo homeruns completely ignoring that he's the horsefeathers leadoff hitter, of course he hits solo homeruns.

The Shawon-o-meter is arguably the best example of how empty a stat batting average is.
