Angel Berroa

Wins AL ROY in 2003. For those around back then, it was a huge debate between him and Matsui.

Then goes on to have a negative WAR the remaining of career.

Scooter Gennett in 2017
Chris Carter in 2016 with the Brewers
Chris Coghlan for the Marlins (you could honestly put most of that 2009/2010 lineup here)
Rickie Weeks

Those are flashes in the pan, not 3 time Cy Young winners.

Terrell Davis?

Four amazing years. 3 Pro Bowls. NFL MVP. 2 Super Bowls and a Super Bowl MVP. Then nothing…then NFL HOF.

Is that a huge flash in a big pan or a good career?
