June 26, 20178 yr In my opinion, the busts we have had and those who will likely be busts. 2008 - Gordon Beckham 2009 - Jared Mitchell, Josh Phegley 2011 = Keenyn Walker 2012- Courtney Hawkins, Keon Barnum 2015- Carson Fulmer 2016- Zack Colllins 2017- Burger Yes, I have lost hoe that Fulmer and Collins will pan put, and I just can't see Burger as a major league player. If Carlos Rodon does not come back to pre-injury form, he might join that list.
June 26, 20178 yr But just think if we'd just have lost 10 more games we could have gotten somebody so much better than Burger and Rodon and Fulmer. Damn, if we'd just lose more often our great front office would come through.

Damn, if we'd just lose more often our great front office would come through. Exactly, or as one might say, tanks a lot ! Other than the Sale pick the Sox may have had better outcomes by throwing darts blind-folded at a list of first round draft pick options. For the most part, it's been a rough decade for the White Sox on Draft day.
June 26, 20178 yr I especially liked the part where you based Burger being a bust on absolutely nothing.

Damn, if we'd just lose more often our great front office would come through. Rodon was the third pick that slid. He would have been taken regardless. One or two more losses turns Fulmer into Benintendi. Burger was a money saver in a draft featuring little top end talent. Nice troll job, Gregory.

June 29, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) Fulmer, Collins and Burger are barely out of college. Be serious. Fulmer is barely out of college? 53 Minor league games over parts of three seasons with a 4.85 ERA and a 12-17 record. I don't want to bash these players any more than I have, so I'll let this go.

I don't want to bash these players any more than I have, so I'll let this go. 3 years. In other words in a typical organization he could be pitching somewhere around AA.

Go ahead and suspend if it's warranted.
June 29, 20178 yr I think this is a good thread. It allows everyone to know in the future to not waste time reading future posts of its creator.
June 29, 20178 yr did someone change a setting so i hear the Price is Right sad trombone when i open this thread?
June 29, 20178 yr This is pretty much how it goes for every team's 1st round picks over an 8 year span. If you can say that they had 3 years where their first round wasn't a bust out of 8, then I feel they are legitimately doing pretty well. You have absolutely no perspective put into this, just that these guys are "busts."
