Who is the biggest disappointment in baseball history?
Question: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.

Jose Canseco, so many people looked up to him growing up and even in their backyards kids would fight over who was Canseco. Then to see the train wreck he is today and admit to everything he was guilty of steals a little innocence from our childhood.

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.

Do the Arizona diamondbacks have a chance at another championship?
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 alreadyWhich MLB team produced 5 Rookies of the Year in a row in the 90's?
Hideki Irabu, end of story! LOLMichael 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.

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.

If you made it to the major leagues you had to be very good.I'd have to say all the players that never made it to the show is the biggest dissapointmentRick Ankiel and Mark Prior....Sooo much talent..Such much down the drain!!
What do you think of Melky Cabrera?
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.Who is the greatest catcher of all time?
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.I'd call JR Richard a tragedy, not a disappoinement. Yoiu rarely see a young person in great physical shape like he was have a stroke. it's downright scary.
