I looked up Majic and he did have a good 2005 season with the Nationals. IIRC he got off to good start in 2006 but started getting hit hard and then traded to the Reds. I was afraid the Nats had burned him out in 2005 and was proven correct. Wasn't he the one that Krivsky or someone with the Reds filed a complaint with MLB for receiving damaged goods?

Led them to their title is a bit strong. Bye Bye had a nice regular season in '85 with 36 bombs, but had a .220-.303-.220-.523 line with 0 HRs and 4 RBI in the postseason. In the World Series, STL scored a total of 13 runs. I think words like pitching and luck had a little more to do with the Royals championship than their 1B.

good point.
I came in here ready to say Alex Trevino. He couldn't hit, and by the time he was a Red, he couldn't throw the ball to second base without bouncing it on the turf.
But the comments about Kevin Jarvis convinced me that he was indeed the worst pitcher in the history of baseball.
Stick to your guns.
Took a stroll down memory lane in baseball-reference.com for the absolute suckfest of the mid-2000's of the Reds pitching staff.
The names make me want to retch. What's worse is the number of innings they were allowed to pitch.
