But you forget: they're the front-runner for Jeff Weaver.

Pretty awful, but one note - they've spent the last few years in the smallest division in baseball - it's easier to finish last there than it is in the NL Central, for example. Still, not a good track record.

They made four playoffs in 10 years during the Piniella era, that wasn't bad. But otherwise, yeah, what Thorn said.
For extra credit, name the manager the season before Piniella (1992). If you're really frisky, who had the most wins on that staff?

I'd say Jim Lefevbre but I think there was some other guy in there for a year. As for the pitcher, I guess Randy Johnson is too obvious. Erik Hanson comes to mind.
Ok, I looked it up...wrong on both counts.

I had the pitcher on my fantasy team so I got that right, still don't know the manager...

Jason, if you divide (total last-place finishes) by (total franchise seasons), the math in Seattle still looks better than it does in Tampa Bay. And there's what, five playoff appearances mixed in with those last-place seasons? Whatcha complaining about?

Ah yes, but the Devil Rays still have to post five more consecutive losing seasons to match Seattle's futility.
