In the wak of Mark Priors recent injury I have pondered this question. Immediately I think of Ken Griffey Jr. who has been plagued by injury and could have gone down as the greatest hitter to ever play.

Barry Bonds and Pete Rose are the biggest disappointments in baseball because of what they did to tarnish the game

for sure it offered out that is followers, it does on a daily basis and each 12 months. It only cares about the communities contained in the wide media markets which brings them of their maximum money (Boston, long island, l. a.,). it really is why their isn't a income cap because Selig and his cronnies might want to piss off those businesses. because of this the NFL is a lot extra efficient than MLB. might want to MLB ever marketplace a guy from Indy as their guy for the league? it really is why Indy has a AAA baseball team, not because the followers gained't help them, becuase the league would not care. merely seem at how pathetic Pittsburg has develop into, their lies your answer.

Griffy will go to the hall of fame and I guarantee the he will hit at least 600 home runs (currently 564), non of which are steroid or human growth hormone aided. 10 Gold Gloves and a League MVP. How is that a disappointment? Career 290 avg. Cal Ripken didn't even do that and we celebrate the jack as s. Griffey has been plagued by injuries the past few years, but that's what happens when you get older.
A biggest disappointment is going to be someone you have either never heard of or is surrounded with controversy.
That being said, I agree with Gibson.

I'm going to go with J.R. Richard of the 1970's Houston Astros although it might not have been his fault. He put up some real impressive numbers in the late 1970's until he had a stroke right on the mound of the Astrodome and while he tried to come back, was never the same.

Darryl Strawberry. The Straw we should have witnessed would have been a 600+ HR, 2-time MVP monster. But the many problems that plaqued him and his career, many of his own doing, completely derailed a future HOFer into a pretty good player, but so much less than he could have been.
I could write much the same about Juan Gonzalez, but with less melodrama and more medical reports.

I agree. JR Richard would be one. A guy having a debilitating stroke that early in life is unusual, and shortened a probable HOF career. Eric Davis was another one; he was a brittle guy, just couldn't stay healthy. Pete Rose said( I think it was during Eric's 1st or 2nd season) that he had never seen anyone with as much natural baseball talent as Eric Davis.

Michael Jordan lol. He threw away a good shot at 2 more titles in basketball to suck at baseball for a couple seasons. Now you can only wonder: Could the Bulls have won 8 straight titles? That would've been amazing to watch.

i agree with you completely, if griffey weren't so injury plagued we wouldn't be talking about bonds breaking the home run record because griffey would likely have broken it already
