On Sept. 11, I posted a list of the worst season ERA's by pitchers who saved 30 or more games. Brad Lidge of the Philadelphia Phillies now tops the list. While saving 31 games for the NL East champs, Lidge compiled a 7.21 ERA, beating the old record held by Shawn Chacon (who at least had the excuse of pitching in Coors Field). Incidentally, Lidge was 0-8 with 11 blown saves, after blowing no saves in 41 chances in 2008.
The revised list:
7.21 - Brad Lidge, 2009 Phi. NL, 31 saves
7.11 - Shawn Chacon, 2004 Col. NL, 35
5.79 - Mike Henneman, 1996 Tex. AL, 31
5.28 - Brad Lidge, 2006 Hou. NL, 32
5.28 - Todd Worrell, 1997 L.A. NL, 35
5.14 - Dave Veres, 1999 Col. NL, 31
5.07 - Joe Borowski, 2007 Cle. AL, 45
4.98 - Jose Mesa, 1999 Sea. AL, 33
4.98 - Jeff Montgomery, 1998 K.C. AL, 36
4.80 - Billy Koch, 2001 Tor. AL, 36
