December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 08:58 PM) i always felt sick to my stomache when he came into a game lol...didnt jose paniagua only play one game with the sox..facing the twins and he stuck his middle finger at the ump, or am i wrong? cant remember I remember watching that game. I already despised Jerry Manuel by this point and to watch Paniagua go out there and give up hit and walks with a big lead, I don't know, rarely do you literally see the momentum shift like I did that night. Man I was pissed. Here's the game log: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200309090.shtml 1/3 IP 3 H 1 BB 4 ER
December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Its so hard to pick the worst, but I have several more than 10 who deserve a mention: McKay Christensen Andy Gonzalez Ken Hill Jack Egbert Wes Whisler Arnie Munoz Armando Rios Todd Ritchie Julio Ramirez Jeff Bajenaro Josh Stewart Dewon Day Mike Myers Jose Paniagua Brent Lillibridge Some pretty bad players right there. I would have put Toby Hall on the list, but I like guys who make shaving cream pies. man remember jeff bajenaru vs. bobby jenks discussions back in 2005....some people were irate that bajenaru wasn't getting a shot over jenks....whats funny is they had a somewhat legit arguement .....good thing the baseball people with the sox were brighter than those here
December 17, 200916 yr 10. Royce Clayton 9. Antonio Osuna 8. Rocky Biddle 7. David Riske 6. Dewon Day 5. Boone Logan 4.Mike Jackson 3. Jose Paniagua 2. Billy Koch 1. Joe Borchard I wanted to put Tony Pena's batting practice on here, but thought I would give him another year. he may be on the 2010-2019 list though. best name in the past 10 years: Jeff Bajenaru
December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) Second OVERALL pick in the draft. Right behind our old buddy Erstad.
December 17, 200916 yr Alan Embree Josh Paul Todd Ritchie Roberto Alomar Andy Sisco Jimmy Gobble I forgot about these guys til I read your awesome list. They all did indeed stink.
December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 11:13 PM) Right behind our old buddy Erstad. Erstad had one great and a few other solid offensive years and was always good with the glove before his grand White Sox showing. Ben Davis bunted to break up Schillings perfect game, thats it.

I remember him getting Sosa swinging in a critical situation in a crosstown game.
December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Dec 17, 2009 -> 12:28 AM) I always liked Osuna. I remember him getting Sosa swinging in a critical situation in a crosstown game. He had a great 2002 with us. I don't understand the hate either. I can understand some guys who people just never liked even if they were productive (or semi) offensively (Like Valentin, Jimenez, etc.. etc..) but this guy besides the little stint before 02, was very good for us for the one full year he was here, and he was traded. (didn't leave as a UFA, asking for loads of $$$$) I was baffled when I saw Damaso Marte's name mentioned.
December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 01:45 PM) I think that even having one moment of greatness, like "the catch", is enough to save you from a an easy list of 10 who never even sniffed mediocre. That wasn't a moment of greatness, it was a moment of everlasting, awe inspiring, ethereal beauty. for one second he was a god, and for that I'll always have a spot in my lineup for him. he can do no wrong.

The Sox got Cintron for him. He pitched 1 inning for Arizona and gave up 3 homers.

December 17, 200916 yr QUOTE (longshot7 @ Dec 16, 2009 -> 07:30 PM) Crap - I don't even remember Andy Gonzalez. When was he on the team? Lucky. I wish I didn't remember him
December 18, 200916 yr My vote goes to Nyls Nyman because his worst-ness transcends decades...and hey, thread starter said "the decade" not "this decade."
December 18, 200916 yr That wasn't a moment of greatness, it was a moment of everlasting, awe inspiring, ethereal beauty. for one second he was a god, and for that I'll always have a spot in my lineup for him. he can do no wrong. I agree completely. More power to those who think Wise was one of our top 10 worst players of the decade, but he's actually one of my favorite players of the decade because of that amazing catch. Call me a dumbf***, but I really feel that way.
December 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) What, no Arnie Munoz? WTF! I had him on my list.

December 19, 200916 yr This is a great concept. How about a couple of rules? Minimum 200 AB Minimum 100 IP or 50 games pitched? That rules out guys like Egbert who were awful but didnt get much of a chance. Jose Paniagua would get eliminated, but he wasn't as bad as he is infamous.
December 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (Baines3 @ Dec 18, 2009 -> 11:30 PM) With me it would be a toss up between Jerry Owens and Brian Anderson. Both of those guys did way, way more than Andy Gonzalez or Brent Lillibridge even though they sucked.
December 29, 200916 yr Dont really consider him part of this but since we are talkin about such random players... Whatever happened to Jeff Bajenaru after we traded him???
December 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (The Beast @ Dec 29, 2009 -> 11:45 AM) Octavio Dotel. Really? Top 10 worst of the decade? Did he run over your cat & lie about it or something?
