Pitchers with Poor Control


The recent post in World Chat regarding Allen Haynes got me wondering about pitchers with really poor control.  I have a pitcher in Robinzon Neruda who has been quite good with control of 45, but just how bad can a pitcher's control be and he still be a useful MLB player?

The following table shows the players who have pitched at least 10 innings in a season with the worst ratings for Control in that season.  I don't see any seasons under a value of 30 for Control that I would want on my team, and most of the ones above 30 are still less than ideal.
