I'm thinking of playing him in CF and, when called for tanking, explaining that WifS says he's a BL CF.

Can't see his ratings (main site is blocked for me at work so I'm using wisjournal) but I assume you're not including training camp pitchers in your "worst-ever" assessment. If you are, he must be really bad...

I think it's safe to use the worst training camp pitcher you've ever seen in comparison.   And you'll still say "Yes, he's the worst ever."

Ok, just replaced "whatifsports" with "wisjournal" and I guess even the URLs are complete mirrors. Wow, this guy is unquestionably the worst position player I've ever seen. Maybe he'll get a DITR and get all the way up to a 20 overall!

No offense but that doesn't seem like your type of world. Guy stinks though. I'd give him lots of ST at bats and see if he wins a spot.

He's 44 years old, same to assume there's no DITR in his future. What I don't understand is how he's a 20 year ML vet with $327K salary.

The commish asked so I joined.   We'll see.

As far as a bunch of ST AB, I think that would really hurt his regular season availablity due to his 26 Dur.   He gets winded walking from the dugout to the plate.

The 72 patient could come in handy. And his base stealing abilities ain't all bad.

I'll keep him for his veteran influence and ability to bunt on demand.

Your team loves him so much that he has been on it for 18 seasons.

Actually, you need to play him every day in AAA to see if his overall can go down even more when he gets hurt every other week.

Hold onto him.

He'll re-sign next season as a great rookie league bench (or hitting) coach. If he's bench coach, I bet you could groom him to be a top fielding coach in 6-7 seasons.

MikeT actually arranged for a porter to meet him at his car every morning with a wheel chair to wheel him into the club house.
