Traditionally, it has been Willie Mays.  Morgan is being punished by Admin for his stupid comments on Sunday Night Baseball.

Some years of Rickey are pretty awful.

I've never had a REALLY good season from Willie, certainly none that exceeded my high expectations.   I guess I'd vote for him as "worst-best".   Another guy who never seems to do well for me is Steve Carlton... the only season of his that meets my expecations is the 1972, which costs a ton and doesn't normalize all that well.

I'm a sucker for Eddie Collins at 2B, and he almost always disappoints.  Different seasons and different caps, he just never seems to have the type of season I draft him to have.

I don't remember ever using '75 Morgan, but he's been brought up as a consistent underperformer for years, so there must be some truth to the complaints.

I'm using Willie Mays for the first time ever in a high-cap league as a defensive replacement in the OF, and he has 2 HR in 2 AB, so I can't complain about that.

I'm using Mays for the first time right now in a 120 million league, and his OPS of barely .600 is, to say the least, underwhelming.

Yes on Collins.  All the 30s Athletics stink for me.  Simmons, Cochrane, etc...  I mean, I know why and I've come to expect it, and yet I still keep trying.

Also, '98 Hoffman routinely burns me.

Joe DiMaggio is a persistent underperformer too.

Dean Chance.  A lot of themes I play make him an attractive choice, and I ALWAYS regret it.

Yeah, tell me about DiMaggio.  I'm paying $7.5 mil for a .280 avg and .330 obp. with few homers.

Mays, Mays, Mays.

DiMagg is not good, either.

I dunno why people expect much from Mays or DiMaggio.  They're way overpriced for low-cap leagues and don't have high enough OBPs to perform anywhere near their cost in high-cap leagues  They don't do well but I'd never expect them to.  Joe Morgan seems more like a guy who looks good but doesn't perform.  I also feel like Luis Tiant never lives up to my modest expectations.

I don't play often but Dimaggio's low K numbers always suckered me in when I played a lot
