Though it's unlikely he'll keep this up, he's on pace to top Neifi Perez's -2.9 WAR season
The worst season by WAR since at least 1990.
Of course others may have been on pace for worse
But were cut (or shelved, à la Zito) long before they reached that point. It would be interesting (albeit a lot of work) to see how much worse relative to the rest of the team a player has to be before that happens, on average. It’ll be complicated by contract status (as Figgins is) and team contention (as Figgins might be) but in general how much suck do teams tolerate before they won’t allow a player to contribute more negative WAR?
I don't know whether to laugh or express sadness.
The thing that frustrates me most about Figgins is his unusually poor defense this year.
Aaron Curry was a bust the moment he took the field.
Replace home-plate umpires and their terrible strike zones with technology!

It's really sad that I'd be beyond extatic if he could merely play as well as 2010 Chone Figgins for the rest of the year.
And 2010 Chone Figgins was a big disappointment. But this. This is just on real. I shudder at the thought of what 2012 Chone Figgins will be like.
He'll be so bad that he'll cause the end of the world.

Figgins homered on Opening Day.
This is an truthful fact describing an event that actually took place.

I am fully convinced the "be more aggressive" plan will begin to work, and he will come around.
And, in unrelated news I am beginning a petition to replace “stop, drop, and roll” with “scream and run in circles even faster” in all curriculum.
