Vote for the Worst Player in MLB
UPDATE: Nov 15, 2006
Congratulations, Willie F. Bloomquist!
Hardcore fans have seen through your .257 career batting average, and focused on your .312 OBP and extremely ugly .329 SLG. You can’t even bunt very well (.250 average, which hardly compares to the league leader, Ichiro, at .475, or a crop of decent bunters in the .300-.350 range). While you know how to steal a base (50 for 58), and are adequate on the field with the glove, you are the epitomy of a replacement-level player. You also saved yourself too much embarrassment by performing well in the clutch. But, we don’t expect that to last.
You have come to bat 1000 times already, and played the field an equivalent 250 full games. You’ve played practically every position on the field, so that we would be spared being given an indelible impression for too long. Even Robert Downey Jr envies the number of chances you’ve been given. It’s time for the Mariners brass, and all of MLB, to see you for what you are: the 750th best player in baseball. Angel Berroa and Cristian Guzman thank you.
