Dayn Perry recently wrote a story for Fox Sports that explains his picks for the worst player at each position. The list can be found here:

Here is a quick rundown tho:
C- Jason Kendall
1B- Kevin Millar
2B- Ray Durham
3B- Rich Aurilia
SS- Omar Vizquel
LF- Juan Pierre
CF- Mark Kotsay
RF- Mark Teahan
So there are somethings I agree with and somethings I don't. I agree with the Kotsay listing because I have been saying all along, as many others have as well, that if the Braves think that Kotsay is the answer for the CF problems, they are so wrong. For them, it might have been a better idea to find a bench player somewhere that has promise to the play CF. Furthermore, giving up Devine was too much for the deal, as Devine will prove to be a good pitcher out of the pen.
When reading entry for Teahan, you can see he's listed because many teams have good players out in RF. He is in the unfortunate position that the Royals do not have anybody to platoon with him. With age he will get better, he is only 26 and I believe much of his problems originate with him being rushed through the minors (like Burgos before him). That being said, at this time next year, he will not be listed as the worse RF in the league.
How bout the Giants with three players on the list?
Check out the original article, its a good read.
