    Biggest busts in TPSL history?

    #9 Rafael Rodriguez, Centerfield, 25 yrs, Atlanta Braves - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    I always thought he'd be insane, but he never really filled out and probably needed more minor league time before he lost his prospect status. He's still really young, and his power & contact talent is still really, really good if he can ever get there...

    #78 Justin Smoak, First Base, 31 yrs, Washington Nationals - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    I guess he's been ok, but for all of his talent he hasn't come close to living up to what he could be.

    #45 Kevin Janik, Leftfield, 29 yrs, Washington Nationals - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    2nd overall pick that year.. he's had an ok career, but isn't a superstar and should have been better having gone 2nd overall.

    #41 Jacoby Thompson, Starting Pitcher, 31 yrs, Texas Rangers - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    Probably boosted a little at some point, but he still never has done a thing worth mentioning...

    #8 Brandon McCarthy, Reliever, 34 yrs, Philadelphia Phillies - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    His talent has decreased, but he had some good ratings at some point and just never could do anything. One decent year in OAK was it.

    #27 Al "Gigolo" Borland, Rightfield, 26 yrs, Minnesota Twins - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    For what the Twins GM (at the time, wasn't Zodious) gave up, he sure hasn't been worth it (the other players in the deal are non-factors at this point too). Still has unreal talent, but he's 26 and hasn't developed a point in awhile... don't know if he'll ever fulfill his potential, but atleast he's been adequate.

    #30 Fabian Herreros, First Base, 25 yrs, Colorado Rockies - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    Like some of the others, he's still young and has talent, but for what he was paid he hasn't done anything.

    #64 Cory Rasmus, Starting Pitcher, 30 yrs, Cincinnati Reds - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    Guess he's not a bust... 90+ wins at 30 isn't bad... but given his talent, which he's had for awhile, he should've been better...

    #43 Micah Owings, Reliever, 35 yrs, St. Louis Cardinals - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    If you ignore 2008 especially.

    #94 Masajuurou Yoshiyuki, Centerfield, 27 yrs, Kansas City Royals - Out of the Park Baseball Report
    Still yet to really break out and has real nice ratings.

    Aurelio Velasco. He was the shit, and he's completely worthless.
