Okay, this is a tread you can add, subtract or debate for that matter
After watching the Fabulous Leon all yr, I will start him as my worst Catcher in the ATL era. I have a few more players to add, agree or disagree.
Catcher -- Kevan Smith Third Base -- Hector Olivera Shortstop -- Craig Robinson -- go back to the mid 70s to remember him Second Base -- Not quite figured out yet First Base -- Nick Esasky -- Big free agent contract - all of 35 poor ABS in his time here. Actually the worst FA sign in Braves history - Outfield -- Mike Gallagher - he was the guy Bobby Cox kept platooning Ryan Klesko with in his first full yr '94. Why, I will never know, but he was a lousy player Outfield -- Brad Kommisk - one of the most disappointing prospects of the era - go back to the early 80s for that Center Field - Melvin Upton Jr - could it be anyone worse? The second worse FA contract of all time ATL Braves history
Pitchers Jo Jo Reyes - no matter what kind of game he would pitch he or the team would find a way to lose Aaron Blair - the results spoke for itself
Guess you can fill in on that. I am talking about guys who were just plain horrible, guys who did nearly nothing. A guy like Folty I would not put in there cause he had times when you would think he would turn the corner.

Can add Kenshin Kawakami, Dan Uggla, Nate Mclouth, Chuck James, Matt Wisler, Aaron Blair, Sean Newcomb, , Corky Miller, Jorge Sosa, Casey Kotchman(at least relative to the predecessor he was acquired for)

Pablo Sandoval is making a push for worst pinch hitter, which is hard to imagine with the start he had to the season.
Chris Reitsma worst closer?
Worst manager.....without any competition.....Frediot Gonzalez.

Russ Nixon would like a word with you about that, but it's close.

Andres Thomas was the worst SS with a career OPS+ of about 60, but he did back that up with an equally abysmal ability on defense.
Olivera shouldn't even count... he hardly even played.
Catcher.. Corky Miller

Corky Miller To think that we could have had a young developing Barry Bonds for Andres Thomas who had one outlier yr in the late 80's That was one Bobby Cox mistake he made as GM if those rumors really were true at the time. It was after the 88 or 89 season if I remember right. Yea, I kinda was not thinking about him. Corky Miller gives Smith a good run for that title.

I seem to recall at one point the Braves were thinking about signing Bonds I think when he was leaving Pittsburgh. Either that or a trade. I remember Andres Thomas was a really hot prospect. He and Komminsk were 2 of the big disappointment prospects. Thomas had a pretty decent year in 88 however.
