Who was a recent player you thought was going to do well, but didn't - Page 3

D.J Davis not a popular guy, but really love his swing and though he could be a nice contributor at the major league level.

Dylan Bundy. Yeah he is only 26, But has shown signs of absolute brilliance followed by absolute trash. No consistency. I think he would do much better with a new coaching staff. We shall see.

Just to name a few. I have been wrong probably 90% of the time, but I deal with by buying more of the prospects who will most certainly disappoint me tomorrow . . .

I like Meadows.

trout

scotthenrichs · 12-12-2018, 04:51 PM

Lewis Brinson...although he may still have time.

Tradegeek · 12-12-2018, 05:06 PM

Yoan Moncada? Cody Bellinger? Julio Urias?

Those guys are 23, 23 and 22 respectively.

Bellinger had a 4+ WAR season in his sophomore year.

I guess if your not Trout or Betts right out of the gate your a busted prospect. Those three guys should be DFA immediately.

I almost said Brinson myself but he is still so young. He looked great in the minors until he suffered a lingering shoulder injury. I hope he turns it around. He’s about as nice of a guy as you could hope to meet.

SirTommyWinAlot · 12-12-2018, 05:06 PM

Definitely Moncada.

The Hobby Love is OVAH. He's done. He may have some very good seasons in him but people don't view him as a potential hall of famer. I don't.

I was a Hector Olivera magnet in 2015 and 2016. I think I pulled 4 or 5 of his autographs. Some really low numbers, including a Chrome.

What a world class POS he turned out to be.

Jmort23 · 12-12-2018, 05:22 PM

Christian Walker (always blocked at 1B regardless of the team that signed him or traded for him).
Wish the Orioles never signed Chris Davis to the ridiculous contract and he would’ve had a great shot 2 years ago.

I've been very disappointed with Josh Bell so far. His defense hasn't gotten any better with 3-4 years of experience at 1b. He also tinkers with his swing too much to have any sort of consistancey. He has the ability to be a .300 hitter with ~30 HRs. But after hitting 26 in his 2nd year, he followed it up with only 12 last year. Hopefully he locks in his swing for 2019 and becomes the player all Pirates fans thought he was going to be.

CubKings · 12-12-2018, 08:20 PM

As a Cubs fan, I was becoming a fan of Junior Lake. Then he just kinda fell off and vanished.

Bryant won and MVP, helped win a World Series and then got hurt. If he's still struggling next year when healthy, then I'll worry. But, hard to say he has disappointed when he won an MVP.

Cody Asche. I wasn’t believing the hype around him he had coming up in Philadelphia, but I didn’t see such a poor career coming for sure.

1st name I thought of as a fellow Cubs fan, Jorge Soler. Thought he'd be a 30HR guy, just can't stay healthy.

CitizunKane · 12-13-2018, 04:16 PM

Miguel Sano. He's only 25, but I think that ship has sailed.
