Miguel Olivo has the distinction of being the only guy with more than 1 such season, and he's done it three times.

These are some pretty poor performances, although Brandon Wood's is pretty scary. A .174 OBP in half a season is just horrible.

On a separate note, we need to pick up more Twitter followers in order to find a contest winner for our merchandise. You can help out by following us on Twitter and, in particular, retweeing stuff from HighHeatStats.
