Who is the worst starting pitcher in baseball?

[Tavish]

Josh Towers by a large margin.

[davidmarver]

As a starter this season:

<pre> IP H ER BB K ERA WHIP W-L
RussOrtiz 37.2 61 45 32 25 10.75 2.47 0-8
JoshTowers 54.1 86 57 15 29 9.11 1.86 1-9</pre>

Russ Ortiz.

This was the first person who jumped to my mind.

I'm annoyed that I didn't wake up earlier and start spot starting whoever was throwing against the O's when Ortiz started.

Russ was the first person that came to mind for me too.

I would like to nominate Shawn Chacon

6-5 (5 of those wins coming from his time with the Yankees)
79 IP 44 K 53 BB 16 HR 7.18 ERA 1.87 WHIP

Jose Lima

And Joel Pineiro and Odalis Perez



















oh and Brandon Duckworth.

RussOrtiz 37.2 61 45 32 25 10.75 2.47 0-8
JoshTowers 54.1 86 57 15 29 9.11 1.86 1-9</pre>

Joe Mays also had a 10.27 ERA in 6 starts.

The difference between Ortiz/Mays and Towers is that the Jays actually let the guy go for a full third of the season.

Carlos Silva
141.1 IP
55 K's
6.50ERA
1.62WHIP
.340BAA

I'll give Silva some credit. Atleast there was a period with him in the middle of the season where he was usable in fantasy.

Is he still cashing cheques from the D-Backs? What did they give him? 4 year deal??

What I want to know, is who the 25 bums are who struck out against him this season.

Don't know much about NL pitchers but in the AL I would also agree with Josh Towers and Daniel Cabrera. But would like to add Rodrigo Lopez from Baltimore. Oh and just about every KC starter.
