Baseball is a funny game. Just ask Yoenis Cespedes, who went from dark-horse MVP candidate to MLB All-Dud squad member in the space of a week.
As it turns out, the New York Mets masher was just one of an array of stars who landed a spot on this unfortunate team. The selection process was all about digging through the numbers to figure out which major leaguers were the worst of the worst during the week that was.
The position players on the team were all right at the bottom of the leaderboard in stats such as average, OBP, slugging percentage and OPS. Meanwhile, the pitchers who made the grade either gave up a ton of runs or a key run at the worst possible moment.
There's no question about it—everybody on the All-Dud team had a week to forget. But nobody had it worse than the squad's reliever who pitched his way right out of a job.
