Fans everywhere often talk about great players however we rarely talk about the players that leave you scratching your head. I would like to know, who is the worst player you have ever seen? I'm not talking about a frustrating player that has loads of talent but isn't living up to it. I'm talking about the players that you wonder why they're up at the major league level to begin with. The kind of player where not only you laugh at how bad they are but you kind of feel sorry for him.

For me, it's Tyler Greene. Butters, as I nicknamed him, couldn't do anything right. It became almost laughable seeing him field and looked overmatched at the plate. Routine pop ups were an adventure. I have no idea what the Cardinals were thinking bringing him up.

Wasn't the worst, but I always wondered what baseball front offices saw in Todd Benzinger.

Paul Householder.
Somehow he got 450 or so PA's in 1982. Threw up a .500ish OPS if I'm not mistaken.
He was horrendous.

haha one year he put up an OPS+ of 3. Wow that's bad.
I'm thinking Paul Householder should be the case study in not falling in love with a player because of his minor league stats. He actually looked like a real prospect coming up. It just never translated.
If we're going back to the early '80s, I nominate Geoff Jones.
From this last year's team, though, Mike Costanzo looked so overmatched it wasn't even funny.
