Is Edgar Renteria The Worst Shortstop Ever?

You guys must be too young to remember Don Buddin

One of the Boston writers joked that he should have ordered "E-6" as his vanity plate

Talk about an "all clank" infield---Buddin at short, Pumpsie Green at 2d, and #^&#^&#^&#^& "Dr Strangeglove" Stuart at 1st. Stuart once got a standing O for picking up a wind-blown hot dog wrapper without dropping it

Remember him? How could you forget him? Averaged nearly 30 errors per year while playing for the Red Sox. Rentaria is a gold glover by comparison.

And Dr. Strangeglove was a piece of work as well. He made some great plays on balls hit to either side. But if a ball was hit directly at him... forget about it.

I don't know if he's lost more games than Ortiz has won, but you'd expect Boston to get a better return for their dollar. A $40 million, four year contract ain't exactly chump-change.

Think about how the poor guy must feel out there every day listening to his name over the loudspeaker. He must imagine in his head, the announcer saying, "And last nite, I had a very bad case of renteria. I didn't get off the john for hours..." But he should just be glad his name ain't Pujols. Pujols...hahahaha. I crack myself up.

And yes, I agree. Renteria simply is not that good. What happened between last season and this, besides a team change?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
