Jason Kendall is not the worst player in the league. Are we counting talent per contract dollar or something? He probably wins that.

I agree about Kendall.

Beane was desperate to unload two suck azz players in ARthur Rhodes and Mark Redman. Pittsburgh also ate $5m of Kendall's salary. You could argue that signing Rhodes in the first place was a Beane mistake. Also, Kendall's offensive production dropped significantly after the trade and I don't know how Beane could have predicted that. My gripe is not so much the trade but that Beane STILL lets Kendall play every freaking day. He belongs of the bench.

He'll be 33 next week so it's not like he's ancient. The drop was precipitous and immediate. Very weird.

You guys realize that the worst position player in the HISTORY of the game is currently playing, right?

The answer is Neifi Perez.

ESPN recently released a metric system for rating baseball players. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playerrating

i don't think it has more than this year's stats though,
