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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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…

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.

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

Dude, I love how you used a clip with The Crime Dog Fred Mcgriff in it. I always loved Fred's swing. 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.

How different would the Mariners have been if Marc Newfield had lived up to the hype? Would he have provided the final push to get the Mariners over the hump between 1995 and 2003, especially with all the talent we had during that time? One can only wonder…:/

@@BLUDDSPORT1 He was an 11th round draft pick, with a career .295 batting average and 111 OPS+. 11th rounders generally don't carry the "bust" pejorative even if they never make the majors. Someone with solid major league stats, not sure why they would be considered any kind of bust (at least a draft bust). Fans still could have been disappointed with him for a more relevant reason.

There's a lot of really underwhelming and straight up bad 1st rounds in the 1990s Like 1995 which has Erstad, K Wood, Helton, Geoff Jenkins, Doc Holliday, and Mark Redman as the only notable players and 1996 might be even more underwhelming with Travis Lee, Mark Kotsay, Eric Chavez, Jake Westbrook, RA Dickey, and Jason Marquis as the highlights

Brien Taylor(from all accounts I’ve heard or read)was a good kid,but did something 90% of 20 year olds do,go to a bar and get in a fight.He ended up being slammed on his shoulder,which destroyed his ability to be dominant.Yeah,I guess he was a bust,but mainly because of a dumb decision and a terrible injury.

i think the problem for a lot of these so called busts is that they rushed themselves a lot of them either left college early or didn't even go to college who knows maybe if they had gone to college and were able to fine tune their games they might have succeeded in the majors but i guess we will never know

The Mets were going to have the best rotation in baseball, Wilson, Isringhausen and Pulsipher…….same with the Cubs, Wood, Prior and Zambrano. Who would have ever guess Zambrano would be the one who had the best career?
