Ok maybe I'm just a bit bored, but I was looking at some draft history and was wondering if any team had a terrible draft year they would rather soon forget?
For Pawtucket let me introduce to you the class of 1985:
Draft Position
1st/Pck 5- P Pepe Rodrguez. Wow all I can say. Never a top 100 prospect, 13 month shoulder injury in 86 might have hampered him. Had one horrible rookie season of 3-14 10.47 ERA in 1989 and was out of baseball in 1991. Can't bomb any worse than this guy.UNEMPLOYED
2nd/Pck 15 - P Lonnie Cook. Not a bomb yet at 24 in AAA, but again never a top 100 prospect. Could perhaps make someday at a RP, but hopes are waning for this prospect.
3rd/Pck 1- 1B Ivn Castaneda. 7 month injury right out of the gate. Played in A until 1988 before finally released. Caught on with Baltimore where he got no higher than AA before being released in 1991.UNEMPLOYED
5th/Pck 2- P Luis Antonio Vsquez. Lefty starter which when I took over had some future hope in this prospect. Has struggled at the higher levels and only development seems to be in his control. Sadly he's the best prospect from this class and odds are slim he see's the majors.
7th/Pck 2- 2B Tad Jones. Besides playing multi positions, this guy was one lazy ass. Never averaged past .267 at any level. Briefly picked up early this season, but released.UNEMPLOYED
8th/Pck 2 - P Wu-shiun Pei. The dreamweaver actually played 3 seasons in the majors progressively getting worse. Career 6.69 3saves and VORP -24.5. Currently on Virginia AAA teaching the young prospects on how not to pitch!
9th/Pck 2 - 2B Ral Lauriano. Played one A season for Pawtucket when he was released and picked up by Davenport. His past 6 of 7 seaons has been on the AA team assumed to be washing the players jocks?
The Total
Major league seasons combined : 4
Top 100 prospect ratings from OSA : 0
Unemployment rate: 3 or 43%
1985 was YUK! Any team have this type of draft year??????
