I've been a Pirates' fan my whole life, but even I wouldn't have them at 24th. I'd put them down there with Milwaukee as the two worst teams in baseball. At least Detroit did something this off-season.
Roger Angell: I was talking with Bob Gibson and I said: 'Are you always this competitive?' He said: 'Oh, I think so. I got a three-year old daughter, and I've played about 500 games of tic-tac-toe with her and she hasn't beat me yet.'

Hate to agree with you Bobby, but as a Pirate fan myself, I don't see them beating out many of those teams at the bottom of the list. But, there's always hope! Maybe these rankings (and from the teams at the top of the list, it is) are weighted more on pitching than hitting. Wells and Fogg (and please, please, please Benson) are good starters.

How in the world can any team but the Tigers be ranked last? That just boggles the mind.
Bah, humbug.

Astros have potential for 2nd. New York should be better than Anaheim. The Cubs should be nowhere in the top 10.

Hey, Hey, Hey there's no need to pick on the Tigers.
In all honesty I don't think the Tigers are the worst team in baseabll. Look at the Brewers and Pirates, the tigers have a decent lineup.
