    Which first rounder will be a bust?

    Every year, there is a bust, Shaun Alexander style. It happens in every sport. Which one of these players who will be drafted in the first round will most likely bust?

    PF...although Hanley has no help, his stats won't be impressive either

    I'm expecting Hanley's BABIP to go down quite a bit, but he'll still be worth a pick for his 20-50 ability.

    From this list, I guess Howard would be the one(Although I don't see him in the first round anyway.)

    I'm thinking Fielder if anyone.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    It will be tough for Rollins to repeat last season.

    Easy, Miguel Cabrera. Yes, he's proven it for a while, but he's a power guy, and his numbers WILL drop at Comerica. The thing is that he's not really a doubles guy. He wont adapt because he doesn't hustle, and has no speed to speak of. The guy will hit decently, but he's got no speed, no glove, and i don't think he'll adjust well to the Tigers game

    Pujols. JUST KIDDING! Prince Fielder is a good pick for this, I do also like Hanley Ramirez. I just don't see hanley having anything whatsoever protecting him. I think miguel cabrera will do fine, he won't be a bust which is what the question is. he might drop a bit, but he won't be a bust. I also dont like Howard's constant strikeout habit. It's something he hasn't addressed and needs to, or else he's going to have some problems.
