Worst year by a pitcher?

Here's Randy Lerch's 1989 Season with Kansas City/Boston:

2-27, 11.82 ERA, 230IP, 196BB, 2.63 WHIP, OAVG .400(!!)

He won 2 games with a 5 era with the Red Sox and then was signed by the royals and went 0-27 lol. He retired after that year.

wow, that makes his 4 yr run with Montreal (9-40, approx 7.00 era) look great by comparison. he must have had naked pictures of these GM's to be in the league that long

Crud. That's not good though. One would think that the team would have tried anyone else by then, and I wonder how he was given that many starts.

wow, he had -178 VORP that year lol

Well, he was on Kansas City, who has been absolutely terrible. They lost 138 games that year. They only had $17 mil payroll that year(but made $12 mil profit). They had 14 straight years of 100+ losses. They're overall record in the league: 1738-3941.
They're 1989 Rotation:

1. Jose Guzman 13-25, 4.22 ERA 24.3 VORP
2. Danny Jackson 8-30, 4.76 ERA 3.9 VORP
3. Rob Dressler 0-22, 9.29 ERA -93 VORP
4. Ed Wojna 3-34, 7.69 ERA -99 VORP
5. Randy Lerch 0-27, 11.82 ERA -177 VORP

I think for some reason players werent getting imported and put onto the team, so they didnt have as many players as other teams. I always kept getting errors that they only had 10 players on the roster.
