How is it silly to have Drew in this discussion? Did the “genius” who wrote this even bother to check his numbers from say the past 3 seasons? Obviously not but i will do the work for him and present them. This is drew’s 3rd year with the redsuks and so far he hasn’t even hit 20 HR’s in a season for them and it looks like there is a pretty darn good chance he won’t this season either.64 RBi’s is the most he’s knocked in with the redsuks and he might match that this year, might. .280 is the best batting average he’s given baston and its not likely he will be matching that high this year. And when you consider the cash they are paying this guy i am sure they thought they would get a little more than this. I know i would if i was a redsuk fan but thank God i am not!

This list essentially defines the Jim Bowden regime. Become enamored with “looks great on paper” and “tools-y” players, ignore blatant off-the-field issues such as attitude, reliability, criminal history and the like, then jumble them all together and call it a roster.
Oh, make sure you give out indefensible contracts while you’re at it. And make sure the players have a history with the Cincinnati franchise too.

Nats had to draft them. They had no money, so they took what they could. Just now are they finally being able to get who they want. Bowden didn’t help matters. Terrible GM.

There is some sort of a negative hint here against the Nationals. I think they saw the talent in four of these underperformers and decided to take a chance with them. Hoping to catch lightening in a bottle, sort of. Tremendous raw power in Pena and Cabrera, just unknown whether it can be harnessed. Obviously they have given up on those two. The jury is still out on Dukes.

Isn’t this just a back-handed compliment?
By that, I mean that it implies that the rest of baseball seems to think that JD Drew is one of — if not THE — most talented players in the game.
I don’t think there is a disconnect here at all. The question wasn’t “Name the crappiest players in baseball” or “Name the players who keep getting jobs when they shouldn’t.”
Anyone who has seen JD Drew play on a consistent basis would probably agree: based on how naturally the game seems to come to him, he should have a higher career OPS+ than the likes of Magglio Ordonez, Moises Alou, Carlos Pena, and Hideki Matsui.
I’m actually surprised that Nick Johnson didn’t end up on that list.
Anyone can under-perform their talent level, not just crappy guys.
