This is probably not a great answer given the crapshoot of the draft, but don't think I've heard bubba starlings name since he was drafted. Seems like a guy who will go back and play college football and be a 29 year old QB

My best guess was he got a bad case of athlete's foot from that boot.

Although it's almost entirely the Rangers fault.

He failed because he drove a blue '97 Ford Taurus with the Yankees logo painted on the hood.

Danny Goodwin- was drafted #1 overall TWICE.
Passed on signing with Chicago (he is from Illinois) to sign with Southern. Drafted #1 again four years later by the Angels. Primarily a DH, he hit just 13 career HRs, with a lifetime .236 average


As far as Todd Van Poppel, he was drafted 14th overall and played 11 season in the big leagues. Look at some of those chosen in front of him-

#5 Kurt Miller
#6 Marc Newfield
#7 Dan Wilson
#8 Tim Costo
#9 Ron Walden
#10 Carl Evertt
#11 Shane Andrews
#12 Todd Richie
#13 Donovan Osborne
