I was thinking Pittsley was top 5 also, but he wasn’t. You could throw in someone like Ashe Russel (not tp 5 but never even made it to full season ball) or Chris Lubanski instead.
Starling never delivered, but even making the show as a 5th OF type is better than those 5-6 dudes. |

Starling and Bush are not equivalent. The only hype I recalled was that he was local and had a ton of raw potential...but I can't recall anyone saying/believing that he was a sure thing, superstar in the waiting.

Looking back at his Wiki, you may be right as he was merely a 5th overall selection. It just seems like that selection was touted on the level of Witt Jr. at the time. |

Also, some say we drafted him since he was local. I’ve always felt (but cannot prove) DM would’ve drafted him if he was from Florida. DM is a total sucker for toolsy guys esp in the OF. It worked fabulously for a few years but not for the bulk of his term. |

Reggie Bush certainly doesn't have HOF credentials, but has nearly 9,100 yards from scrimmage, 58 TD's and a Super Bowl ring, which is slightly less than Jamaal Charles' 10,156 yards from scrimmage and 64 TD's. That's in no way, shape or form, equivalent to Bubba Starling's 17 RBI's, 5 home runs and a .209 BA since being drafted in 2011. Good grief. |

Former Royal nabs a executive vice president and general manager spot for the Rangers. Good for him, he's a smart fella.

Minority owner Patrick Mahomes II is liking tweets from released Rockies OF David Dahl. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
As much as I'd like to see KC land Schwarber and insert him at 1B, Dahl is much more of a Royals type of addition. He's an athletic, multi-talented OF. His injury history is significant and concerning, but a team that managed to keep Lorenzo Cain generally healthy for a five-year period can probably sell itself - and probably Dahl - on its ability to do the same for him. |
