I don't think a guy who is considered a decent hitter and excellent base runner and elite defender can be considered a bust

Phil Plantier,
at least his baseball card was a bust!

Mike Hampton after he signed that huge $120 mil deal to Colorado, dude was on the DL seemingly the whole contract.

I'm assuming that was a troll. A guy with nearly 30 WAR before is 27 is clearly not a bust.

A guy who has accumulated 29+ WAR through his age 26 season?

Among guys that were big time prospects?
Ruben Rivera
Ben Grieve
Travis Lee
Corey Patterson
Sean Burroughs
Brandon Wood
Could do a whole bunch on draft busts but the MLB draft is such a crapshoot

Brien Taylor.. #1 overall pick and never made it past AA and I believe is in jail now

This is kind of a troll response but Byron Buxton appears well on his way. He's been pure garbage every time he's been up.

Yeah I didn't want to say it because he's still so young, but I think he's headed for a career like most of the guys I posted. 6-10 years in MLB, maybe 2-3 decent seasons.
The Twins player development, yikes. Their future looked unreal around this time last year
