Most Useless MLB Players Today...

[Chi_archie]

how is jason kendall doing this year? he's been useless for quite some time

[TheLock]

Fair enough Willie.

For leadoff guys I would agree that OBP would be a more meaningful stat.

With that said, when speaking in generalities such as "the worst players in MLB", OPS is a much better stat to use as oppossed to ancient, misleading stats such as batting average or RBI's.

To add to your point on speed though (and Im not saying this necessarily applies to Tavares), speed in baseball is pretty useless if the player is rarely on base.

He is a easy out useless hitter.But he is a great catcher.
Unlike most he will block balls in the dirt and not try to catch them unlike most catchers.

Yep, can't steal first. I would have put Michael Bourn into this category a year ago, but he's finally proving that Houston at least got something for Brad Lidge.

The Most useless player in MLB is a guy that makes $10million a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

ERIC BYRNES He only had one decent year in his whole life.

This guy batted 7th or 8th with the A's, Rockies,O's and he has one good year and gets the worst contract ever.
One other guy that makes 7 million a year is Jack wilson.Yes jack wilson of the Bucs.

These two guys are the worst players for the money in years.What a joke!

Adrian Gonzales for 3 mill a year is the best for a hitter!

I can make a list of 100's of guys that should not be in the majors.

Hundreds?! As in at least 200? That's over a quarter of the current rosters as of today. I'd like to see that list.

[Mudcat]

Given my Toronto perspective, I must again invoke the name of Vernon Wells.

[BobHarvey]

Andruw Jones. Howie Kendrick (now in AAA).

[JsmooveFTW]

Can't believe I forgot about Eric Byrnes

I'll add another one though. Scot Shields (now out for the season. good riddance). Actually throw in the entire Angels bullpen. No actually throw in their entire pitching staff

[oiler]

Dontrelle Willis

i totally agree on that one

[OtherSide]

Thats easy to have at least 200.On average 6 or 7 a team and some teams will have more or less.
I dont feel like doing this but its very easy.

[Willie Bee]

What about the list of 200+ players you would promote? Also easy?

We are talking about players that should not be in the majors.
Did you read the topic?
Thank for playing

Question! If it sais wind 18mph W. Does that mean it's blowing W to E, or E to W ????

[Willie Bee]

Yes, I understand the subject matter. Just that it only stands to reason when you cut 200 players, you need to promote 200 players. Which ones are they, or what eight teams do you contract?

Your turn to play

Blowing out of the West (W to E).

Of course but it will take way to long.You have 11k+ posts so i think you may be the man for the job.(alot of free time)
Make sure you find guys that run 90 ft hard out of the box everytime please.
I know you can do this.

[Madukwe]

Corey Patterson, hands down

[Madukwe]

Terrible Managers, anyone? I vote Dusty Baker

[Shortstop]

Any MLB player with the last name "Burke"

[Shortstop]

Cody Ransom

[FrozenMAN]

no aaron miles or ryan freel??? LOLOL, you could easily put the entire cubs bench on this list, also throw on dan uggla

[Shortstop]

Uggla stays off the list for now.

[PAPSMEAR]

it's the old karate kid Ching Bow Bing Bang Boo Mr Wang for me he's been throwing donuts all year...his record speaks for itself

[edlaw]

thats b/nobody's juicin steriods and hgh anymore so the homerun rate this yr is very low and some of these losers cant even get a hit unless there juicin

[FrozenMAN]

Uggla stays off the list for now.

yeah for 24 hours then its back onto the KING OF ALL STRIKEOUTS starting tomroroow LOL

IM PRAYING this is what will open his eyes and get him off that horrific schneid he's been on

[TheLock]

Ugglas K's are misleading. Take a look at his OPS. No where near the worst.

I vote for Emilio Bonifacio. A lead off guy with a sub .300 OBP

[The Mr. Jones]

After Byrnes......Kevin Gregg.

[FrozenMAN]

Ugglas K's are misleading. Take a look at his OPS. No where near the worst.

I vote for Emilio Bonifacio. A lead off guy with a sub .300 OBP

might be misleading but he ****in BLOWS, he NEVER EVER EVER EVER comes through in big situations and when he did like yesterday i came in my pants from shock.

he's still useless, even his DP turning is super slow and prevents some of them from getting turned. him and hanley have the least dp's turned in mlb this year, which is just unfathomable given hanley's range/arm THUS its gotta be 2nd making up the problems

bonifacio blows alot too and shouldnt even be on the team, ill def give u this one lol

and im happy to see the starters for phillyt this weekend, finally we play them with our #1/2/3 going

[tlk23]

Nick Punto and Delmon Young have not been mentioned. Especially Punto. End of conversation.

[cocknocker]

Any closer being paid more than $5 million a year.

That is by far the most accurate assessment of useless players on a broader sense. These players need not be named individually

[Shortstop]

Raul Ibanez

[iifold]

Raul Ibanez

Players that no longer Belong in MLB...

[BigDan]

Nick Punto and Delmon Young have not been mentioned. Especially Punto. End of conversation.

i love having Punto on the Cards....


RYAN FRANKLIN is hands down the biggest waist of roster space in the mlb, the guy has stuff that 50% of the posters here could hit...its amazing this clown ever closed a game.....
