Biggest Bust In Cards History

[bakker]

Hector Cruz was going to be the next great thing back in the 70s and just didn't pan out. His brother Jose was decent (maybe even good) as a Cardinal but became a really good player after being traded to the Astros.

[Cranny]

To be fair, maybe talk about the biggest successes too? Like AP, who ranks #2 in MLB history in RBI? And also ranks #4 in MLB history in HRs?

Stop

Anything positive is out of place, Basil?

The biggest bust in Milwaukee Brewer history is Front Row Amy.

I like big busts...and I cannot lie

Would JD Drew be counted as a bust?

All the hype and all the injuries. Though trading him lead to having wainwright and a World Series

I guess Waino wasn’t a bust.

He’s not stl raised. Doesn’t qualify.

Alex Reyes has to be mentioned they touted him for years. One decent season as closer but nowhere near what he was expected to be, a number 1 starter.

The task is composing a list of players to determine which received the most hype yet didn't live up to it. Inserting players who were in fact great doesn't help compile said list. Albert and other "positive" players would be considered non-conforming variables. They don't help solve the equation needed to generate this particular set.

Alex Reyes is right up there with Walker for the title. Both were at some point #1 prospect in all of baseball if I remember correctly.

-Brett Wallace landed Holliday.
-Rasmus trade landed a World Series BP
-JD Drew acquired 16+ WAR as a Cardinal and eventually had a top-6 in MVP and an All-Star apperance, and he landed Wainwright. JD was a disappointment, I wouldn't say bust

Don’t mean raised as in lives there. Raised thru the farm system. You know this. Stop trying to bicker.
