I think no matter how you slice it, bust was the wrong word to use. It has been an ominous start to his career, but bust is strong.

Possibly. But a college pitcher (a 4 year college pitcher mind you) should be better than this:
NYP league- .300 BAA, 3.60 ERA
MID League- .236 BAA, 3.82 ERA, only 7k/9IP
I know this was an extremely small Sample size that's almost meaningless, but these struggles/mediocre performances against 18-19 year olds as a 22 year old polished college pitcher are worrisome.
Then there's the struggles at A+ this year compounded with him being sent back to extended spring training? As a number one pick? I'm not sure what other word to use. Maybe he'll bounce back, but I'd almost bet money that he'll never be a solid #1 or #2 pitcher on a division winning team. Hell, even in college he never really dominated like he should given his stuff.
