I would have said Bob Buhl. An incredible lifetime stat of 857 AB's 76 hits with 2 doubles included in that hit parade 
and a lofty . BA of .089
My choice as worst Cub hitter in my lifetime. But he was worthy of an MVP IMO as he and Larry Jackson were dealt to the Phillies for HOF'er Ferguson Arthur Jenkins.
A most lopsided deal rivaling the Phillie deal for Sandberg and Bowa for Ivan DeJesus, gosh I sure do have a soft spot in my heart for those Phillies.

Can we just take a minute to recognize how completely ridiculously awesome the Cubs were in the 10s and 20s? Going back and looking, the number of "great" players on those teams is pretty amazing.

Really! They weren't bad in the 1930's either. Won the pennant every 3 years ...1929, 1932, 1935, 1938.

I remember the futility of Bob Buhl at the plate!! Prolly way off, but it seems like he might have had like a 70 some hitless at bat streak. Last September, Vitters looked like he was going to give Buhl a run for that .089 batting average!
Here is a photo of him leaving the park after learning he was traded to the Cubs in 1962
