Brien Taylor.. #1 overall pick and never made it past AA and I believe is in jail now
He's a bust due to injury though.

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

there were a couple guys from Tulane who never matched their college hype. Michael Aubrey and Brian Bogusevic. Not sure they're busts for OP's purposes but their pro careers were let downs after their hype.

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.

How are Baldelli and Wilson busts?
Posted on 8/3/16 at 10:03 am to TigernMS12
If you spend more than a season or two on a major league roster, you aren't a bust.
Busts are the myriad of first round picks that have never made it to even AAA.

I mean he's been a great reliever for Texas this season.....Wouldn't really call someone who was drafted like No. 1 overall for a SS, went to prison, got out and made it to the bigs as a relief pitcher a bust.

It's pretty crazy how accurate scouts can be when it comes to the majority number of a prospect class.
Here are the top 20 prospects going into 2006:
1. Delmon Young, TB
2. Justin Upton, AZ
3. Brandon Wood, LAA
4. Jeremey Hermida, FL
5. Stephen Drew, AZ
6. Francisco Liriano, MN
7. Chad Billngsley, LAD
8. Justin Verlander, DET
9. Lastings Milledge, NYM
"He's going to be an all-star caliber player. You hit home runs with a quick bat, which he's got, and down the road he could steal 35 to 40 bases." a scout on Milledge
10. Matt Cain, SF
11. Prince Fielder, MIL
12. Howie Kendrick, LAA
13. Alex Gordon, KC
14. Andy Marte, CLE
15. Ryan Zimmerman, WAS
16. Ian Stewart, COL
17. Conor Jackson, AZ
18. Jarrod Saltalamacchia , ATL
19. Andy Laroche, LAD
20. Carlos Quentin, BAL
Notables:
25. Troy Tulowitzki, COL
30. Hanley Ramirez, FLA
49. Ryan Braun, MIL
50. Andrew McCutchen, PIT
68. Cole Hamels, PHI
77. Dustin Pedroia, BOS
96. Matt Kemp, LAD
There were a lot of other notable ones, but pretty much every person I listed not in the top 20 has competed or won an MVP or Cy Young award at some point in their career.

Conor Jackson and Jeremy Hermida were two guys that just disappeared that looked like they were going to be really good

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
