Joe Shlabotnik
Which player is most like Charlie Brown's hero Joe Shlabotnik from Peanuts?
This is meant in fun, but I gotta admit it's been a frustrating couple weeks watching these guys.
From Wikipedia:
Shlabotnik was demoted to the minor leagues after hitting .004 over an entire season; his one hit was a bloop single with his team comfortably ahead. One time he promised to hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth; he popped out instead, but circled the bases anyway. His greatest achievements included making spectacular plays on routine fly balls and throwing out a runner who had fallen down between first and second.
After being sent down to Stumptown of the Green Grass League, Shlabotnik eventually retired as a player and agreed to manage the Waffletown Syrups. Sadly, Joe was fired after only one game, after calling for a squeeze play—with no one on base.

I have been intensely praying to see puppy-dog on my mail route so at least one of us can go home happy.

I'll defer to AN user Charlie Brown, who's seldom heard from, but when he speaks, he COMMANDS ATTENTION.
