Worst team ever?

Here's the 1967 Washington Senators

For some reason, they didnt have enough hitters, so they had to use pitchers to hit. They went 10-142. Whats wierd is, is Batting Report, it shows pitchers having a ton of AB's, but nowhere else. On the players ingame card, it doesnt show any batting stats.

C Jack Shepard .180 AVG 0 HR 15 RBI -30 VORP
2B Zoilo Versalles .178 AVG 8 HR 26 RBI -47 VORP
3B Gene Leek .160 AVG 3 HR 30 RBI -58 VORP
1B Joe Adcock . 237 AVG 10HR 21 RBI(HR & RBI leader) -12 VORP
SS Billy Goodman .236 AVG 0 HR 14 RBI -9 VORP
CF Ken Hunt .101 AVG 2 HR 4 RBI(Only 286 AB's) -41 VORP
SS Dick Groat .115 AVG 0 HR 3 RBI -10 VORP

Thats all the batting starts for position people. They have these pitchers batting stats:

SP Jim Kaat .178 AVG 8 HR 26 RBI 191 Games(??) 580 AB -27 VORP
SP Joe Coleman .114 AVG 0 HR 12 RBI 174 Games 516 AB 5.5 VORP
SP Taylor Phillips .082 AVG 0 HR 6 RBI 137 Games 388 AB -1.7 VORP

They have the following fielding stats for these pitchers:

Jim Kaat: 19 Games in Left, 89 Games in Center and 42 Games in Right(All Started)

Joe Coleman: 89 Games in left and 42 Games in Center(all started)

Taylor Phillips: 84 Games in Right, 19 Games in Center and 4 in Right(all started)

Now, here's Jim Kaat's pitching line:

6-31, 5.05 ERA 37 GS, 304 Innings

How did he start all these games? Must be pretty amazing to start 150 Games in the field and 37 games on the mound

Well i guess the batting stats for the pitchers do show on the player card. But there seems to be none on the history card.

This makes me laugh, but it probably shouldn't happen.

That does explain Kaat's numbers: he must have been exhausted racing back & forth from the mound to the outfield. It is remarkable that he could even pick up a baseball, much less throw one.
