Who is the worst player on the Orioles?

[thezeroes]

If a player has shown improvement over the season then they should not be classified as the worst on the team.  Those that have regressed on the other hand, are working there way up the list of the worst. 

Those that have been released, traded or on the 60 Day IL would be exempt as the Title of the thread states ON, not played for.

 

Just as reference to who was on the Opening Day Roster. BOLD =Minors, Italics = Gone  Feel free to correct errors.

I probably should have said "Significant" as the adjacent adjective.

"Davis Hess" doesn't exist.

Jesus Sucre is in the minors. I think.

He was put on the "inactive" list a week ago in Norfolk with no update.

Thanks for the corrections.

I hope this is therapeutic to you all. Many of these players have been put in a no win situation. Inexpensive placeholders, trying but just overmatched, especially at pitching. So beat them up if it makes you feel good.

I'd call it a win situation for a lot them.  Where else are a lot of these guys going to accrue ML service time?  I'm sure every one of the young ones are thrilled to be getting whipped in the majors over playing in the minors.

So, who is your pick?

It is a tough battle for this title.

Each player is going out every game right now and trying to outdo each other for the position of “worst”

The trainwreck has not yet come to a complete stop.

I thought Hess would be a decent pitcher. He started out well

And had a promising second half of the 2018 season. There was reason to hope one could pencil him into the rotation--like Mullins into CF.

Mullins was not promising last season.

Hess and Brooks. Plus Mullins if he qualifies.

Oh, and Lew Ford.

On the O's right now? Davis

Worst players by Baseball Reference WAR

1. Richie Martin -1.3

2. Dan Straily -1.2

3. Chris Davis -1.1

4. David Hess -0.8

5. Stevie Wilkerson -0.8

 

Worst players by Fangraphs WAR

1. Richie Martin -1.3

2. Chris Davis -1.2

3. Dan Straily -1.1

4t. Cedric Mullins -0.8

4t. David Hess -0.8

 

By the numbers, it's Richie Martin. Cedric Mullins was probably the worst player overall though. Had the fourth lowest Fangraphs WAR on the team despite only playing 22 games this season. Six hits in 74 plate appearances is just unbelievably bad. 

I wonder how different Wilkerson's WAR would be if he was playing infield instead of center?
