[Gwreck]

Least valuable Met seasons, 21st century:

At -1.1 WAR:
Ruben Tejada, 2013
Jason Bay, 2012
Jay Bell, 2003

At -1.2 WAR:
Willie Harris, 2011
Lucas Duda, 2012

Who was the guy... came up around the same time as Jose Parra... like Parra, was a Latino minor league veteran... pitched effectively, then didn't... got sent down... possibly hurt... cleared waivers... and was discovered to be definitely hurt and damaged shortly after being sent down, denying him a chance to at least collect a big league salary while rehabbing because he has already passed through waivers by the time he was diagnosed?

Who was that guy? May have been something simple like "Juan Perez."

Jose Santiago? or Juan Padilla?

how could you forget Argenis? Jerry Manuel played him for a month (26 PA) without a hit and it was one of the reasons they collapsed.

Because WAR is a counting stat and not a rate stat, Jay Bell's Mets season easily qualifies as the worst of the five you posted. Bell roughly played about half as much as any of the other Mets you listed in their respective seasons in question, and about a third as much as Duda did in 2012.

So which Met has the worst WAR/PA season ratio in franchise history?

I must be thinking of Santiago. Looking back, though, he was in a different season than Parra.

Not 20th century, but who remembers Cal Koonce?

Who can forget Cal Koonce? Dude has a championship ring.

Holy crap! Tony Armas, Jr., was totally a 2008 Met.
