In case you wanted proof against the effect of performance enhancing drugs there is this article. I mean seriously, Neifi Perez?!?!?!
By the way, since 1901, for players with at least 1400 games played, Neifi Perez has the 2nd worst OPS+ of all time, at 63. The worst is 57 by Dal Maxvill. In addition, for a player with 4700 plate appearances, the worst OPS+ is our favorite crappy shortstop, Perez. He's had 5510 PAs. How has he managed to stretch out a career of 11 years and 5 teams. I mean, he did win a gold glove in 2000, so that must make him the incredible!!!! By the way, Ski Millelo had an OPS+ of 63 with 5536 PAs. We've found Neifi's equal.
Is Neifi Perez the worst player in baseball history??? No. But if we're considering players who have played in the majors for a significant amount of time, the debate starts (and possible ends) with Neifi. There are plenty of terrible players throughout baseball history, but how many can be very bad and last for so long (and earn $18 million !!).
Those who know me will know I've always disliked Neifi, so the fact that he's now suspended for drug use is really exciting for me. If this isn't proof that steroids are not magical pills that make you a hall of famer, I don't know what is.
