Jeff Shaeffer.
1992 .114/.139/.186/.325
That's right a .325 OPS. Edgar led baseball with a .343 BA 18 points higher than Jeff's freakin OPS

Much like the regular HOF there needs to be some rules.
I propose the following
1. Player must have at least 100 AB's and/or 50 IP for the Seattle Mariners
2. Executive/Managerial Wing entrants must have at least 1 full season working for the Seattle Mariners.
Any other rules?

My first nominee will be .....
Carlos Silva signed to 4yr $48million dollar deal with the M's in 2007. In 183 innings pitched for the M's, Carlos gave up 258 hits. His ERA+ was 62. The Mariners had to pay $9 mill and take Milton Bradley just to get rid of him.

In perusing the guys listed, in all humility, I gotta say, no one can hold a candle to the 2 Total Zeros, Tuffy and Andy.

Mackey "Yips" Sasseritis
Mackey Sasser was a catcher for the New York Mets when his yips started showing up. In 1989, just two years into his professional career, Sasser started having problems throwing the ball back to the pitcher. As you can imagine, a catcher who can't throw the ball back to the pitcher isn't much of a catcher at all.
Sasser fans weighed in on the problem by calling radio stations suggesting ways to cure Sasser's problems [source: Baumbach]. Unfortunately, none of them helped. Sasser played for several other teams before leaving baseball, uncured of the yips, in 1995 [source: McCarron]. As with other players, a new term was coined to describe a catcher who can't throw the ball back to the pitcher: Sasseritis. Pretty original, huh?
After leaving the major leagues, Sasser worked with a therapist to help cure his case of the yips and went on to be a baseball coach at Wallace Junior College [source: Inside the Zone]. Sasser not only beat his yips after he stopped playing professionally, but he also tries to help other players who are having similar problems. Sasser has been known to give out his phone number and he answers e-mails every week from players with the yips [source: Baumbach].

I don't blame Sasser, just why the hell was he ever signed in 1994?
