Todd Van Poppel... now THAT is a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

Him being a demanding a-hole worked out well for Atlanta, who drafted some guy named Chipper at first overall instead of him.

Based on what I can find, the expectation by both the As and Van Poppel that he would be an immediate star meant he was signed to a MLB contract rather than a minor league one, meaning he didn’t get a chance to work out the kinks in his game before being rushed to the As.
