Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
[ QUOTE ]
Just to throw a name out there that hasn't been mentioned yet... Mike Harkey. When the M's drafted Griffey, they were strongly considering going with Harkey instead. The Cubs got him, and were happy about it. Now...? Josh [/ QUOTE ] substantially better choice than other cubs mentioned, though brooks kieshnick or however it's spelled is another good recent one. Injuries are mostly to blame on harkey though iirc

Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
[ QUOTE ]
For hitters, Ben Grieve was always a big dissapointment. He was a #2 overall pick. After a couple good seasons, he simply collapsed. He was 29 this year. I would have expected at least a .290-30-110 seasons out of him in his prime years. I've never heard a satisfactory reason why he flopped so bad after starting his career well. [/ QUOTE ] i saw ben grieve in his early years with the a's. he has such a pretty swing with good power. never understood how that can happen.

Re: Biggest busts ever, NFL / MLB / NBA
It's really hard to have busts in baseball, when half of all first rounders don't even make the bigs.
