Biggest Bust In Cards History

Post by Basil Shabazz »

If JWalk can’t figure this stuff out, where would he rank on the biggest bust list?

Lindemann, Aybar, Ankiel(P), Geronimo Pena, Rasmus, Carlson, To name a few that come to mind.

I don’t recall many being more hyped than Walker. Taveras maybe, but that’s a different story.

Heck, same thread could be made about Gorman

Ankiel. And that wasn’t a bust. That was an abnormal performance.

I would say Paul Coleman would be number one. Walker at least made it to the majors cards passed on Frank Thomas to get Coleman who was compared to Bo Jackson. Walker at least made it the majors. But Walker would be up there if he fails he was hyped by all of baseball not just the cardinals

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

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?

It is fair. Hes doing a comparison post if Walker is a bust is he the biggest the only way to talk about a comparison With Albert is if they had a player who could be comparative which they certainly don’t

Yes, please stop. We understand that you support the front office. That is fine, we all have our opinions, but that response has absolutely nothing to do with the thread. Please....
