David Klingler, Akli Smith, Ki-jana Carter are who come to mind, how devastating it is to be a Bengals fan.

But who are the washes in MLB?

Monty Ferris was more THE MAN when he was at Oklahoma State with Robin Ventura............but faded away in the Rangers organization.

Robin was awesome too, as I sitll think he holds the NCAA record for consecutive games with a hit.

Monty was a powerful hitting shortstop that reminded everybody of Cal Ripken.

Once chan ho park got to Texas he was one of the biggest money busts of all time, but he did do very well for the Dodgers so he wasn't a bust right out of the gate. tulsa

Al Chambers; drafted by the Mariners in 1978. I believe he's the only No. 1 overall pick in the last 30 years who didn't play a single game in the bigs.

Brian Taylor, Todd Van Poppel, Ben McDonald, Joe Charboneau, Jeffrey Hammonds, Rick Ankiel, Clint Hurdle...so many its not even funny if you follow prospects and baseball history

...the reason its not like football is because minor leage and college baseball isn't well known to the general sports fans.
