Srsly. I will make a poll tomorrow. No doubt Bo will be a huge contender.

Ricky Williams, Rich Harden, and Mark Prior are about 100 levels DOWN on the talent meter from guys like Strawberry and Gooden.

Two different classes IMO.

prior has gotten hurt which isnt his fault

no way that strawberry is more of a waste than gooden
gooden couldve been as good as clemens
strawberry would have been a very good power hitter but not an all time great

Not Mark Prior. He was the best amateur pitcher of all-time.

You might not remember how good he was at USC, but trust me, he was the next Roger Clemens.

Len Bias.

Forget USC, he was awesome his first 2 years in Chicago. And then...

Which makes me think of Reggie Lewis. Both total wastes of immense talent.

Thinking Bo was a waste is idiotic. The man was a stud in two different professional sports. A debilitating hip injury that ended his career doesn't make him a waste of talent.

Len Bias...JR Rider...Alexandre Daigle...Alexei Yashin...Todd Marinovich...Ryan Leaf...not Bo Jackson.
