    You missed the part where Newfield hit .307 with an .862 OPS with Milwaukee in 1996. Overall that season he was pretty good & had 410 plate appearances. He hit .278/.332/.446 (.778 OPS) with 26 doubles, 12 home runs & 57 RBI. Solid production. You just glossed over it like it never happened saying he was bad in Milwaukee.

    Another Mets pitching bust from the 90's - Kirk Presley drafted by Mets @ #8 overall in '93. Was lights out in highschool but never made it past high A in 5 years in Mets system. Retired in '98 after multiple arm surgeries.

    As a Giants fan(me too), I am surprised you didn't mention Joe Fontenot, number 16 overall to the Giants in 1995, the Giants dumped him after 3 seasons in the minors, traded him to the Marlins, where he got promoted to the show he won 0 and lost 7 with 6.33 ERA in 1998. The thing as Giants fan the really sucks about him is that he went one pick ahead of future hall of famer Roy Halladay. Doc could have been a Giant.

      Sometimes there's the developmental issues as well. Remember there's a reason there was a trend where struggling prospects got better after being traded from the Orioles for over the past decade. It wasn't just Arrieta.

      Todd Van Poppel was one of the greatest players in Atlanta Braves history. In 1990 Van Poppel was considered one of the best pitchers/players in the entire draft and holding the top pick the Atlanta Braves wanted to draft him #1 overall. Van Poppel got wind of this and as the Braves were the worst team in baseball at the time he decided he did not want to play for them. He blasted the Braves in the media and said he would "never sign with that organization" if they drafted him. So the Atlanta Braves begrudgingly "settled" for a younger less proven highschool player out of Florida with the #1 overall pick. That player was Chipper Jones. The very next year the Braves went from worst to first and that kicked off a still all-time sports record streak of 14 consecutive division titles won by the team Van Poppel thought would be so horrible that he refused to play for them. Braves Country thanks you Todd Van Poppel. They couldn't have done it without you.

    • @rslitman
      @rslitman 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hadn't considered Darren Dreifort to be a bust, probably because the one year I paid attention to him, twenty hundred, was the only one in which he had a W-L record over .500 as a full-year starter. But he still had an ERA above 4.00.
      I am old fashioned and can make neither heads nor tails of such stats ad ERA+, FIP, and WHIP for pitchers. I just look at W-L % (or sometimes just wins) and ERA.

    Corey Myers was the real deal when I watched him play in high school. He turned a new school into an instant powerhouse, with 81 RBIs while also scoring 70 runs in the same season. Even though the competition is more diluted with more schools and games, he still has some records 25 years after the fact. Trouble is, he was a big fish in a really small pond.

    As a lifelong Royals fan, you could write a book about KC's busts from this decade. Granger and Austin were huge letdowns, as were fellow pitchers Dan Reichert, Kyle Snyder, Jason Pruitt and Sherard Clinkscales. But they drafted two big kids named Matt Smith and Juan Lebron who were perhaps bigger busts--neither made it beyond Double-A. Lebron was supposed to be the next Juan Gonzalez. They took him with their first pick, then some kid you might have heard of named Carlos Beltran with their second selection.

    I haven't had time to watch all the way through yet, but your guy at #15 reminded me that one year in the 1990s, and I see it was 1992, both the Reds and the Phillies drafted guys named Chad (and I think both had the same last initial of M) in the first round. Neither made an impact at the MLB level. At least the Reds guy made some big league appearances. The Phillies guy suffered a gruesome knee injury at AA Reading, cutting his career short.
    If you mentioned the Phillies guy later in this video, I'll catch it later. He was the only Phillies 1990s first rounder to never play a major league game, I think.

    I actually feel bad for guys who ended up being considered “busts”, as long as they didn’t do it to themselves by either doing illegal things, or by having an attitude like JD Drew (as a Phillies fan, that guy is the biggest scumbag joke). Technically, if you were good enough to get drafted it’s hard to be considered a bust, you were good enough to make it that far and that’s very rare. And yes having a career in the minors might be difficult to some. I can imagine the traveling, fast food, and being away from home, all the time would stink. But at the same time you’re playing a game you love, against some of the best in the world, and you’re getting paid to do it. That’s a dream for so many others…

    Getting on board the Wayback Train, I'll never forget the feckless Pittsburgh Pirates (my team!) paying the there-to-fore HIGHEST BONUS BABY bribe in history for a rookie sign-on named Bob Bailey. The hype had Bailey as the second coming of Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente, Pie Traynor, Ralph Kiner ... and well, all that sort of thing. Third baseman Bailey managed to stay in the majors for seventeen years, retiring with a .257 BA and an anemic 189 homers. He was almost a Doctor Strange glove in the field. The Buccos palmed him off to LA Dodgers after a dismal four years, sending Bailey off on his dull-as-lead journeyman career. Bonus Baby, indeed.

    In the 1999 draft, both the Diamondbacks and the Phillies drafted guys named Myers (probably no relation to each other) in the 1st round. Unlike 1992, when neither the Phillies' first rounder and a similarly-named Reds' first rounder had a major league impact, the Phillies' 1999 Myers guy, Brett, had a decent MLB career, including being part of their 2008 World Series winners.
    Twice in the late 2000s or early 2010s, the first rounders of the White Sox and the Rays had the same last name, Beckham one year and Sale the other. The Rays' Josh Sale was definitely a draft bust, being suspended by MLB or the team for most of his minor league career and never getting close to the majors. The Sox's Chris Sale has had some very good years with both Sox teams and is now with the Braves. Tim Beckham, first overall by the Rays, took a long time to make the majors The White Sox's Gordon Beckham made it to the majors faster (he was a college player, I think, while Tim was from the high school ranks) and stuck around the majors for several years. But both baseball Beckhams were dwarfed in popularity by stars named Beckham in other sports - David in soccer and Odell Jr. in the NFL.

      High school players are almost always a crapshoot, as I've experienced with my Marlins and Tyler Kolek with the 2nd overall pick in 2014. But yeah, OPSing .600 in rookie ball and striking out 26.9% of the time is not a good sign...

    Kept waiting and waiting but no Todd van Poppel is a huge miss on this list. Telling an MLB team that you refuse to play for them and them drafting one of the best 3B of all-time instead seems like the definition of bust. Especially considering how little impact TVP had at the MLB level.

    In 1997 the Mariners drafted Ryan Anderson with the 19th overall selection. He said he was going to be better than Randy Johnson. Anderson was also 6'10" and was coined the little unit. A total bust. Anderson's opinion of himself and lack of respect for Randy Johnson ticked off Mariners fans.

      Sounds like the story of how Gerry Priddy disrespected Joe Gordon which didn't exactly help endear him towards the veteran Yankees players. People at the time were expecting him and Rizzuto to become one of the greatest infield tandem for years to come, only Rizzuto worked out for the Yankees.
      Unlike Anderson, at least Priddy did find some success as a player after being traded by the Yankees though his life after his playing days went downhill...

      The Mariners trade for Randy Johnson (player to be named later) would have been better than Babe Ruth had the Mariners believed his neck was fine and signed him to a long term deal. Instead he went to Arizona and threw some more no hitters and got a few Cy Young awards and went into the HOF as a Diamondback.
      Randy started the trend of pitching out of the pen when they needed a closer for a playoff spot or a playoff win. He would pitch on a day or two rest if the managers let him. @@iamhungey12345

I knew things were about to get special for us Braves fans when on the day that we (Braves)got Fred and he was about to play his first game with his new team and the dang stadium caught fire lol. But the best part was later than night The Crime Dog Fred Mcgriff played his first game with the Braves in a stadium that just caught fire and had just been put out. It was a miracle they played that night. So Fred's first day had already been exciting, so what does he do? Yep, he hits a frigging bomb to right center. It was frigging awesome. What a day.

    Montreal Expos fan here.
    It is sad what happened to B.J. Wallace and I wish him all the best.
    We sure as hell could have used him in the later 90's and early 2000's.
    Although, if he did play up to potential, he would have waited for free agency and took more money, to go South.
    Sorry to be Harsh but even the best, "Church going Angel's" Did the Same thing. So I doubt a Meth dealer could have been the exception.
    It's not even the drug selling or personal consumption that irks me. I've done some dumb things too but when children are involved??
    Maybe I should say what I think, in French! Or just let it go...
    Honestly though, you could do a top 10 on Expos Pitchers that didn't reach their potential but had the, 'Future Star' or 'Number one draft pick' on their baseball cards.
    In hindsight and being a bit wiser, I know all teams had their fair share of busts but when you're a little kid or tween, you listen and believe the hype.
    I'd still Love to be bitching and moaning about other new busts but I can't.
    Having a player go bust is one thing but having your entire team go South, Both Literally and Figuratively....that crap is just Like having a Longtime, Loved Wife, cheating on you and request a divorce!
    It's a stab in the chest, that you see from a mile away but can't do anything to stop it.
    So Hug your team cheer hard and look forward to,spring training. It's not too far away ;)
    Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada
