That's quite interesting. Hardly any of those players came out to be stars, and the ones that made it weren't much of anything special. I praise KW for trading away the 'future' for bonafied players.

LMAO...Scott Radinsky, Wayne Edwards, and Adam Peterson were all above Thomas in 1990.

 

I think we all saw how that turned out. :lol:

Radinsky could bring it

^I agree...he just never got the opportunity Thomas did because of the politics and all.

Who was this Scott Ruffcorn guy and where did he go to?

He sucked, got traded to the Phillies and sucked too

I fogot about Chris Snopek, that was funny. Some of those guys from the 2000 group look pretty weak. Who would have thought Buehrle would be by far the best so far with Rowand probably taking second? How the heck was Thomas #7, wasn't he the top overall pick?

Yeah I've never heard of someone of those guys like Ruffcorn. Thanks for the info JoshPR though.

Simmons, Christensen, Singleton, Abbott, Liefer. All those OFers that were supposed to plug the CF gap. Wow, that sickens me. I'm hoping and praying our current OF crop doesn't turn out the same.

Man, I really thought Singleton was the guy, good speed, very good defender, even could swing it his first couple years but then HE GONE. :crying

I don't think it will. I mean, we can't go forever without developing a CF'er, can we? :ph34r: Plus, Anderson is just a badass!

did anybody see the article about on espn.com about LSU football? itmentioned Brian West, he is going to be a big part of their D this season
