Coppy’s $12.5 million mistake has joined a club that counts Jo-Jo Reyes, Kyle Davies, Blue Moon Odom and Kevin Coffman among its members. Yes, Bartolo Colon is in the midst of one of the five worst seasons by a Braves starting pitcher ever (minimum 10 starts, hence the exclusion of Mark Redman and Frank LaCorte).
Colon isn’t the worst of that bunch — yet. In 2006 Davies posted an ungodly 8.38 ERA in 14 games, all starts. He didn’t make it past the third inning in four of those outings, giving up 90 hits in 63.
