    Just for fun, as things have been so slow lately, lets remember all the prospects we thought were cant miss and have missed badly... Tis is not to bash on anyone, just to remember and laugh...

    I got really pissed when they traded Lambo and McD for Dotel. I knew McD was crap, but I thought Lambo was gonna be good...

    Bring on your bust!!!!

    My all time favorite: Joe "Joey Ballgame" Thurston. Um, yeah.

    I should point out that the idea of this thread came after hearing the "dodger blues" podcast where they were talking about this Sandoval kid they signed out of DR, who is supposed to be a monster... 17, 6'2", 180 lbs, hits for average and power and plays CF...

    Broxton is not a bust or a miss, no matter how much I hate him.

    I'll go with Loney. Thought he'd be really good because of that rookie season.

    For me, without a doubt it was Andy LaRoche. I thought he was going to be great.

    My friend once thought Xavier Paul was going to be the next great Dodger. Come to think of it, he really liked Loney too (even though he kept calling him Looney, thinking that was how you said his name).

    He needs to stop being a Dodger fan before he taints one of the stars.

    Jose Offerman for me. I have like 30 of his rookie cards. I was there his first game as a Dodger, he homered his 1st AB, it was going to be the start of the greatest Dodger SS of all time...FAIL.

    They had on mlbtraderumors that the dodgers were into Dennys Reyes (I guess a minor league contract with St invite). Wasnt he supposed to be the next Valenzuela?

    Tracy Woodson 3B - the guy used to rake in ST, then was crap in the majors. He lost his job to Jeff Hamilton who was not much better. But it was the glorious 1988 season, so who cares - we won it all.

    I was at a game in NY once and Paul was walking along the field near the LF wall signing autographs, and after he walked away one woman goes to her daughter "You know, he's dating Rihanna!" I'll always remember that about him, and that racist woman.
