Without even looking at the article, Matt Bush should be #1.

Even though he was taken #1 for money saving reasons, he was still taken #1.

Is he in jail now?

What about Todd Van Poppel? I don't even think he was on the list.

NOT being the #1 overall pick and also making the show automatically disqualifies you as the #1 bust


I could be mistaken (due to NOT being a J Booty fan), but I seem to recall that Booty had a guaranteed call up to the majors in his contract. Not quite sure he made it there on his own merit. Again, I could be way off, but that's what my cloudy memory tells me.

pretty accurate in my book, although JJ never threw near as many picks in his career

You are correct sir. The only reason he ever made it.

Should have been QBing at lsu instead of playing for the marlins. Hard to turn down >$1,000,000.

If you're talking about the majority of Rantards, then your statement is probably accurate.

Booty does have a world series ring from when he was with the Marlins.

Where would Ben McDonald fall on that list? Wasn't he a number one overall pick?

Ben McDonald had almost 150 decisions in the majors and a career ERA under 4. He shouldn't be anywhere near the list.

Maybe so. But I have a stack of worthless Ben McDonald rookie cards at home.

Oh, and an action figure.
