Would Bruce Hurst count? He was a “star” in Boston threw a 1 hitter in San Diego then poof disappears

Was Mike Hampton injured?

Does Mike Vanderjagt count? Cut by Colts after 05 playoff miss. Then by Dallas the following season for missing like half of his attempts. CFL for a few years before being cut in 08

You can say injuries, but Deron Williams fell off a cliff.

Would say Chris Brown but he got put on DL for rupturing eardrum


Around a 15 years ago was watching the evening news and they interviewed him. He was doing his 3rd tour as truck driver in Iraq. Had a mysterious death.

Duval has very serious Vertigo issues.

No athlete in any sport could've played through that.

If he didn't make a come back as a very serviceable CF, than yes.

Ankiel never wanted to be a pitcher, but it was forced upon him because of his talent.

His two outfield assists in Colorado were things of beauty.

Rob Dibble imploded spectacularly. He was a total head case though.

I know he's not quite there yet but Jordan Spieth.

He's very close to losing it. He needs to make some changes or he's done.

Dan Uggla. Leads me to believe he was juicing a good bit when he broke out for 2 or 3 years during his tenure with the Marlins. He had one passable season with ATL and then took a nose dive.

Allen Craig? Granted he only had like 2 or 3 good seasons but he went from a legit All Star, a .315 hitter/ 90+ RBI guy to a complete scrub getting cut from minor league teams.
