Who SHOULD have been amazing?

Dontrelle Willis-one of the funnest pitchers to watch in my lifetime

This was the first guy to come to mind for me.

Daryl Strawberry

Haven't read the entire thread, but I can't imagine this one gets beat:

ROY as a 21 year old. First 9 years he averaged:

31 HR, 92 RBI, 82 R, 22 SB, 73 BB, and 121 Ks while slashing .263/.359/.516

The next 8 years of his career he averaged:

7 HR, 21 RBI, 19 R, 2 SB, 20 BB, and 33 Ks while slashing .240/.347/.457

About time someone mentioned Gooden and Valenzuela.Gooden was scary good early in his career.And then couldn't stay clean.

Don Mattingly was amazing for a short time too bad it didn't last, and more recently Hanley Ramirez and Justin Upton.
