Who SHOULD have been amazing?

Ty Hope · Feb 6, 2014

There are tons of guys from my childhood (Gregg Jefferies, Kevin Mitchell, etc.) that were good, but for some reason or another just didn't reach that next level of stardom.

Who, in your opinion, should have had an AMAZING career, but ended up no better than "above average"?

Agree with this one. As a kid, pulling one of his cards was a "hit".

I thought Oliver Perez was going to be the greatest Pirates pitcher of all time. I was wrong.

JD Drew, all the talent in the world...but soft and easily injured

Mark Prior. I thought he was that generation's Tom Seaver.

Bo Jackson also comes to mind.

Daryl Strawberry

Personally, I think Bo Jackson and Strawberry were amazing albeit not necessarily HOF type careers.

Luke Hochevar after what I saw from him in minors. Still remember 11K in 7 1/3 innings performance against San Antonio

That was brutal and heartbreaking. Only Is went on have All-Star career but that was after Mets cut their loses

Bobby Bonilla comes to mind.
