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.

Dave Johnson of the Dan and Dave Superbowl commercial. He didn't even qualify for the Olympics that year

Anyone remember Yankee rising star Brien Taylor? The next Whitey Ford. Never pitched an MLB inning.
