Bill Madden: Baseball's Biggest Turkeys

This afternoon, Bill Madden from the NY Daily News penned an article with his picks for the the 10 biggest "turkeys" (worst performances) from the 2010 baseball season... here are two that are relevant to O's fans:

• Cesar Izturis, SS, Orioles - Madden refers to Izturis as "..unquestionably the worst offensive player in baseball", citing his .545 OPS, which was the worst in either league. I can't even make a case to defend Cesar - but I'd amend what Madden said with the qualifier: "worst starting offensive player in baseball." There are guys out there more even deficient with the stick, but they aren't regulars. Cesar shouldn't be either, but compensates with the glove, to some extent.
• Jack Zduriencik, GM, Seattle Mariners - Zduriencik is relevant in this context because without the Mariners and their league-worst 3.17 runs scored/game, the Orioles would have the worst offense in the American League. The Mariners were really bad; almost have a run worse per game than anyone else in baseball, even including the NL teams with no DH.
